This section describes the prerequisites and process for installing and
configuring Apigee with either an eval organization or a paid (non-evaluation)
organization. A paid organization can use Subscription or Pay-as-you-go pricing.
We refer to the installation and configuration process for any organization as
provisioning.
If you selected command line instructions as your provisioning option,
select a
networking option.
Provision
Follow the provisioning steps based on the option you selected in
Provisioning options.
Next steps
The final provisioning step for each org type (eval, Subscription,
or Pay-as-you-go) and method (Cloud console or command line) is
to deploy a sample proxy.
New to Google Cloud?
If you are new to Google Cloud, familiarize yourself with the following:
Provides quickstarts, tutorials, interactive walkthroughs, technical
documentation, videos, and architectural diagrams to help you get
started using Google Cloud.
Provides a brief description on regions, zones, services, resources
(global, regional, zonal), projects, the Google Cloud console,
command-line interface, and client libraries.
Provides instructions on how to create a project. Google Cloud
projects form the basis for creating, enabling, and using all
Google Cloud services including Apigee.
Data encryption options
Select Google-managed (default) or customer-managed encryption.
