This step explains how to download and install apigeectl on your Anthos GKE on AWS admin machine. Steps include setting up the installation directories, creating Google Cloud service accounts that are required for hybrid components to communicate, and creating TLS credentials that are required for Apigee hybrid to operate.
Download and install apigeectl
apigeectl
is the command-line interface
(CLI) for installing and managing Apigee hybrid in a Kubernetes cluster.
The following steps describe how to get apigeectl
:
-
Store the latest version number in a variable using the following command:
export VERSION=$(curl -s \ https://storage.googleapis.com/apigee-release/hybrid/apigee-hybrid-setup/current-version.txt?ignoreCache=1)
-
Check that the variable was populated with a version number using the following command. If
you want to use a different version, you can save that in an environment variable instead.
echo $VERSION
-
Download the release package for your operating system using the following command:
Mac 64 bit:
curl -LO \ https://storage.googleapis.com/apigee-release/hybrid/apigee-hybrid-setup/$VERSION/apigeectl_mac_64.tar.gz
Linux 64 bit:
curl -LO \ https://storage.googleapis.com/apigee-release/hybrid/apigee-hybrid-setup/$VERSION/apigeectl_linux_64.tar.gz
Mac 32 bit:
curl -LO \ https://storage.googleapis.com/apigee-release/hybrid/apigee-hybrid-setup/$VERSION/apigeectl_mac_32.tar.gz
Linux 32 bit:
curl -LO \ https://storage.googleapis.com/apigee-release/hybrid/apigee-hybrid-setup/$VERSION/apigeectl_linux_32.tar.gz
- Create a directory on your system to serve as the base directory for the Apigee hybrid installation.
-
Extract the downloaded gzip file contents into the base directory you just created using the following command:
tar xvzf filename.tar.gz -C path-to-base-directory
-
Change directory to the base directory using the
cd
command. -
The tar contents are, by default, expanded into a directory with the version and platform in its name. For example:
./apigeectl_1.0.0-f7b96a8_linux_64
. Rename that directory toapigeectl
using the following command:mv apigeectl_1.0.0-f7b96a8_linux_64 apigeectl
-
Change to the directory using the following command:
cd ./apigeectl
This directory is the
apigeectl
home directory. It is where theapigeectl
executable command is located. -
Create an environment variable to hold this home directory path using the following command:
export APIGEECTL_HOME=$PWD
-
Verify that the variable holds the correct path using the following command:
echo $APIGEECTL_HOME
Set up the project directory structure
The following directory structure is a suggested approach. It separates Apigee hybrid
release software from configuration files that you must create. Through the use of the
$APIGEECTL_HOME
variable and symbolic links that you create, you can easily
switch to a new software version if you choose to. See also Upgrading Apigee hybrid.
-
Be sure you are in the base directory (the directory where the
apigeectl
directory is located) by using the following command:cd $APIGEECTL_HOME/..
-
Create a new folder called
hybrid-files
using the following command. You can give the directory any name you wish, but in the docs, the namehybrid-files
is used consistently. Later, you will store configuration files, service account keys, and TLS certificates in this folder. This folder lets you keep your config files separate from theapigeectl
software installation.mkdir hybrid-files
-
The current directory structure now looks like the following:
pwd && ls
/hybrid-base-directory apigeectl hybrid-files -
Change directory into the
hybrid-files
folder using the following command:cd hybrid-files
-
Inside the
hybrid-files
directory, create the following subdirectories to organize files that you will create later:mkdir overrides
mkdir service-accounts
mkdir certs
-
Inside the
hybrid-files
directory, create the following symbolic links to$APIGEECTL_HOME
. These links allow you to run theapigeectl
command from inside thehybrid-files
directory as the following example shows:ln -s
$APIGEECTL_HOME
/tools toolsln -s
$APIGEECTL_HOME
/config configln -s
$APIGEECTL_HOME
/templates templatesln -s
$APIGEECTL_HOME
/plugins plugins -
To check that the symlinks were created correctly, execute the following command and make
sure the link paths point to the correct locations:
ls -l | grep ^l
Create service accounts
Apigee hybrid uses Google Cloud service accounts to allow hybrid components to communicate by making authorized API calls. In this step, you use an Apigee hybrid command-line tool to create a set of services accounts. The tool also downloads the service account private keys for you. You must then add these keys to your Apigee hybrid cluster configuration file.
Apigee provides a tool, create-service-account
, that creates the service account,
assigns the roles to the service account, and creates and downloads the key files for the service
account in a single command. To learn about the related Google Cloud concepts, see
Creating
and managing service accounts and
Creating
and managing service account keys.
-
Be sure that you are in the
base_directory/hybrid-files
directory you configured in Set up the project directory structure. -
Execute the following command from inside the
hybrid-files
directory. This command creates a service account for theapigee-metrics
component and places the downloaded key in the./service-accounts
directory../tools/create-service-account apigee-metrics ./service-accounts
When you see the following prompt, enter y:
[INFO]: gcloud configured project ID is project_id. Press: y to proceed with creating service account in project: project_id Press: n to abort.
If this is the first time an SA with the exact name assigned by the tool was created, then the tool just creates it, and you do not have to do anything further.
If, however, you see the following message and prompt, enter y to generate new keys:
[INFO]: Service account apigee-metrics@project_id.iam.gserviceaccount.com already exists. ... [INFO]: The service account might have keys associated with it. It is recommended to use existing keys. Press: y to generate new keys.(this does not de-activate existing keys) Press: n to skip generating new keys.
-
Now, create the rest of the service accounts using the following commands. The
create-service-account
command is interactive and requires a response for each account../tools/create-service-account apigee-synchronizer ./service-accounts
./tools/create-service-account apigee-udca ./service-accounts
./tools/create-service-account apigee-mart ./service-accounts
./tools/create-service-account apigee-cassandra ./service-accounts
./tools/create-service-account apigee-logger ./service-accounts
./tools/create-service-account apigee-watcher ./service-accounts
-
Verify that the service account keys were created using the following command. You are responsible for storing these
private keys securely. The key filenames are prefixed with the name of your Google Cloud project.
ls ./service-accounts
The result should look something like the following:
gcp-project-id-apigee-cassandra.json gcp-project-id-apigee-logger.json gcp-project-id-apigee-mart.json gcp-project-id-apigee-metrics.json gcp-project-id-apigee-synchronizer.json gcp-project-id-apigee-udca.json gcp-project-id-apigee-watcher.json
-
Assign the Apigee Organization Admin role to the
apigee-org-admin
service accounts: -
Verify that the email address for the
apigee-org-admin
service account follows the patternservice_account@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com
as the following example shows:gcloud iam service-accounts list --filter "apigee-org-admin"
-
Assign the role with the following command:
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \ --member serviceAccount:apigee-org-admin@$PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com --role roles/apigee.admin
Where PROJECT_ID is your Google Cloud project. If your service account email addresses differ from this pattern, replace them accordingly.
The output should include a list of all the service accounts and their roles, including the following:
- members: - serviceAccount:apigee-org-admin@hybrid-example-2.iam.gserviceaccount.com role: roles/apigee.admin
Create TLS certificates
You are required to provide TLS certificates for the runtime ingress gateway in your Apigee hybrid configuration. For the purpose of this quickstart (a non-production trial installation), the runtime gateway can accept self-signed credentials. In the following steps, openssl is used to generate the self-signed credentials.
In this step, you will create the TLS credential files and add them to
the base_directory/hybrid-files/certs
directory.
In
Step 4: Configure the cluster,
you will add the file paths to the cluster configuration file.
- Be sure that you are in the
base_directory/hybrid-files
directory you configured in Set up the project directory structure. - Make sure your domain name is saved to the
DOMAIN
environment variable using the following command:echo $DOMAIN
-
Execute the following command from inside the
hybrid-files
directory:openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout ./certs/keystore.key -out \ ./certs/keystore.pem -subj '/CN='$DOMAIN'' -days 3650
Where
DOMAIN
is the domain you reserved for your hybrid installation in Quickstart (hybrid) Step 5: Configure your DNS.This command creates a self-signed certificate/key pair that you can use for the quickstart installation.
-
Check to make sure the files are in the
./certs
directory using the following command:ls ./certs
keystore.pem keystore.keyWhere
keystore.pem
is the self-signed TLS certificate file andkeystore.key
is the key file.
You now have a home base from which you can configure, deploy, and manage Apigee hybrid in your Kubernetes cluster. Next, you will create a file that is used by Kubernetes to deploy the hybrid runtime components to the cluster.
