Reference

This page applies to Apigee and Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

The apigee-remote-service-cli Command Line Interface (CLI) helps you provision and manage Apigee Adapter for Envoy.

Binding commands

Binding associates a service deployed to the Istio mesh with an Apigee API product. The CLI lets you create, remove, list, and verify bindings.

List bindings

List all API products that are bound to the Remote Service.

Usage

For Apigee hybrid:

apigee-remote-service-cli bindings list -o [organization] -e [environment] -t [token] -r [runtime]

Parameters

Parameters	Type	Description
`-c, --config`	String	(Required) The path to the Apigee Remote Service config file. Tip: This flag allows you to omit most other command parameters, because the CLI is able to pull them directly from the config file. See Using the `--config` option.
`-e, --env`	String	(Required) An environment in your organization.
`-h, --help`		Displays help for the command parameters.
`--insecure`		Allow insecure server connections when using SSL

apigee-remote-service-cli help

For help on any command, type:

apigee-remote-service-cli [command] help

For example:

apigee-remote-service-cli provision help

Provision command

The apigee-remote-service-cli provision command installs a proxy in your Apigee organization, sets up a certificate, and generates credentials that you'll need to configure the Apigee Adapter for Envoy.

Usage

For Apigee hybrid:

apigee-remote-service-cli provision  -o $ORG -e $ENV -r $RUNTIME -t $TOKEN

Parameters

Parameters	Type	Description
`--analytics-sa`	String	Use this flag to specify the path to a Google Cloud service account key file, where the service account has the `Apigee Analytics Agent` role. The SA is used by the adapter to directly upload analytics data to Apigee. If you are using Apigee hybrid, this option allows you to install the hybrid runtime in one cluster and the adapter in another cluster. This flag is only available for Apigee hybrid and Apigee on Google Cloud installations. Note: We recommend that you update your installation to use direct analytics upload. The non-direct method for uploading analytics that used Fluentd is deprecated.

`-e, --environment`	String	(Required) An environment in your organization.
`-f, --force-proxy-install`		(Optional) Forces the `remote-service` proxy to be re-installed if it is already installed in your org. UPGRADE NOTE: If you are upgrading to v1.1.0 or a later version, you must include the `--force-proxy-install` flag to replace the existing remote service proxy deployed on Apigee.
`-h, --help`		Displays help for the command parameters.
`-k, --key`	String	Specifies the key returned from the `apigee-remote-service-cli provision` command.
`--legacy`		Apigee Edge (sets management and runtime URL)
`-m, --management`	String	(Required if you are on Apigee Private Cloud) Your Apigee management base URL. Default: `https://api.enterprise.apigee.com`

Example

Be sure to capture the output of the provision command in a file, which is used as input for other Apigee Adapter for Envoy operations.

Apigee hybrid example:

apigee-remote-service-cli provision --organization $ORG --environment $ENV --runtime $RUNTIME \
--namespace $NAMESPACE --token $TOKEN > config.yaml

Samples command

Create a sample configuration file

Creates sample configuration files for native Envoy or Istio deployments.

Usage

apigee-remote-service-cli samples create [flags]

Description

The command requires a valid config.yaml file generated through provisioning. By default, the sample files are output to a directory named ./samples. The command creates this directory for you.

If you're using native Envoy, the command takes the target service host and the desired name for its cluster. It also sets custom SSL connection from the Envoy proxy to the remote service cluster if a folder containing tls.key and tls.crt is provided via --tls.

If you're using Istio, where the Envoy proxy acts as a sidecar, if the target is unspecified, the httpbin example will be generated. Otherwise, you are responsible for preparing configuration files related to deployment of your target services.

Parameters

Parameters	Type	Description
`-c, --config`	String	(Required) Path to Apigee Remote Service config file. Tip: This flag allows you to omit most other command parameters, because the CLI is able to pull them directly from the config file. See Using the `--config` option.
`-f, --force`		Force the existing directory to be overwritten.
`-h, --help`		Displays help for the command parameters.
`--host`		The target service host (default "httpbin.org")
`-n, --name`		The target service name (default "httpbin")
`--out`		Th directory in which to create the sample config files. Default: `./samples`
`-t, --template`		The template name. If you're doing an Istio deployment (hybrid only), select one of the available Istio options. Use the native option for native Envoy deployments. Available options are: `istio-1.6` (Default) `istio-1.7` `native`
`--tls`		The directory in which to store the TLS key and crt files.

Example

apigee-remote-service-cli samples create -c ./config.yaml

List available template options

Lists the options available to use with the --templates parameter.

Usage

apigee-remote-service-cli samples templates

Parameters

None.

Example

Rotate a JWT token

At some time after you initially generate a JWT, you might need to change the public/private key pair stored by Apigee in its encrypted key-value map (KVM). This process of generating a new key pair is called key rotation. When you rotate keys, a new private/public key pair is generated and stored in the "istio" KVM in your Apigee organization/environment. In addition, the old public key is retained along with its original key ID value.

Usage

For Apigee hybrid

apigee-remote-service-cli token rotate-cert -o [organization] -e [environment] -t [token] -r [runtime] -k [provision_key] -s [provision_secret] --kid [new_key_id]

Parameters

Parameters	Type	Description
`-c, --config`	String	(Required) The path to the Apigee Remote Service config file. Tip: This flag allows you to omit most other command parameters, because the CLI is able to pull them directly from the config file. See Using the `--config` option.
`-e, --env`	String	(Required) An environment in your organization.
`-h, --help`		Displays help for the command parameters.
`--insecure`		Allow insecure server connections when using SSL
`--truncate`	int	Number of certs to keep in jwks (default 2)
`-o, --org`	String	(Required) An Apigee organization. You must be an org administrator.
`-r, --runtime`	String	A URL that includes the `hostAlias` for a virtual host defined in your hybrid configuration. The URL must start with `https://`. For example: `https://apitest.apigee-hybrid-docs.net`
`-v, --verbose`		(Optional) Produces verbose output.

Example

./apigee-remote-service-cli token create -o $ORG -e $ENV -i YUmlZAcBKNsTAelJqPZFl3sh58ObATX9 \
-s icTARgaKHqvUH1dq -c config.yaml -r $RUNTIME -t $TOKEN

Output

certificate successfully rotated

Using .netrc for credentials

apigee-remote-service-cli automatically picks up the username and password (for basic authentication where needed) from a .netrc file in your home directory if you are on Edge Public Cloud and have an entry for the machine api.enterprise.apigee.com. If you are on Apigee Private Cloud, the machine value is the same as your management URL (for example: http://192.162.55.100). For example on Edge Public Cloud:

machine api.enterprise.apigee.com
login jdoe@google.com
password abc123

For example on Edge Private Cloud:

machine http://192.162.55.100
login jdoe@google.com
password abc123

Version command

Print the CLI version.

apigee-remote-service-cli version

Using the `--config` command option

The --config option specifies the location of the config file generated by the provision command. A helplful benefit of this option is that it allows you to skip most other command parameters, which the CLI pulls from the config file. These options include:

organization
environment
runtime
management
insecure
namespace
legacy
opdk

For example, you could execute the provision command like this:

apigee-remote-service-cli provision --config='old-config.yaml' > new-config.yaml
