kvm plugin for edge microgateway.

[vjosyula]

Hello, i would like to leverage edge microgateway and my use case typically requires me to use a KVM. is there a custom plugin developed for KVM which can be used in edge microgateway?.

Here is an example: https://github.com/srinandan/router

https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/nodejs/accessing-key-value-maps-nodejs should i use the above link.

That's not going to work in MG. There is no direct access to KVM. You'll have to build a proxy to access the KVM and use a custom plugin to access it over https.

@srinandans from what i understood, i should be creating a proxy which has kvm and i should be using this proxy as plugin, please clarify??

In short, Venkata,

you cannot read the Edge KVM directly from the Edge Microgateway.

Nandan's suggestion is to build a plugin that includes as part of its code path, a call to an external service. (The router plugin is an example of such a plugin. ) The external service can be "anything" but .. what you can do is point the EMG to an endpoint that is a cloud API Proxy, which itself has access to the Edge KVM. Then the EMG can "read from KVM", indirectly through the cloud-based API Proxy.

Does this make sense?

Absolutely, i was thinking of the same. I will try to implement it asap. Thanks
