What to expect from this course?
The course will give you the basics of API management using Apigee X and will guide you through several hands-on practical lessons that you are able to do yourself after registering for free Google Cloud trial for 90 days with USD 300 credit.
This is the only course on Udemy platform available so far, that targets the newly released version (February 2021) of Apigee X within the Apigee family of API Management platforms. So this course is the first and unique of its kind.
All the required steps to setup your Apigee platform to practice at home or office on your stand-alone dev platform have been demonstrated through video lectures.
This course doesn't show provisioning of production organisation but only the evaluation (Eval) organisation. Once having gone through the eval organisation setup, production organisation setup can easily follow.
The course has useful tutorials on setting a budget alert, enabling and disabling GCP and removing unused projects to save resources and therefore preserve your valuable credits.
Brief exposure on Apigee Hybrid is provided for those who are exploring the hybrid world for their organisations.
However it sets up the student to take a more advanced level course on the topic.
In this course all our references to Apigee are specific to Apigee X which is the current fresh from the kitchen version of Apigee API management platform. Apigee X is of recent origin having been in existence since February 2021. Apigee edge was the previous version. Google cloud is only supporting Apigee X for evaluation organisation. Hence this course is entirely based on Apigee X.
There are about 30 hands-on exercises which should give plenty of opportunity for practical training on these topics:
Getting started with API Proxy with Apigee X (that includes: Create, Test, Deploy, Change the Target Endpoint and Adding a Policy to an API Proxy)
Setting up important traffic management policies (SpikeArrest and Quota Policies) in API proxies
Create, test and deploy API with XML to JSON policy
Add OAuth2 authentication to an API Proxy and test it
Adding API key to an API Proxy and test its effectiveness
