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.

Simplify CLI commands with the `‑‑config` option

The ‑‑config option specifies the location of the config.yaml file generated by the provision command. A helpful benefit of this option is that it allows you to skip most other command parameters because the CLI pulls them directly from the config.yaml file.

Note that any command-line parameters specified override values in the config.yaml file.

These options include:

organization
environment
runtime
management
insecure
namespace
legacy
opdk

You can use this option when upgrading the adapter; however, you must still include the --force-proxy-install flag in that case. For example, you could execute the provision command like this:

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

Note that if you do not change any values in the old config file, you don't have to save a new one, because it will be identical to the original.

Help command

Online help is provided for all apigee-remote-service-cli commands. Just type:

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 two API proxies in your Apigee Edge organization, sets up a certificate, and generates credentials that you'll need to configure the Apigee Adapter for Envoy.

Usage

apigee-remote-service-cli provision [flags]

Parameters

Parameters	Presence	Used with products	Description
`‑‑analytics-sa`	Optional	Apigee hybrid and Apigee only	(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. This option allows the adapter to upload analytics without having application default credentials on the host. If you do not specify this option, the adapter uses the default service account credentials
`-c, ‑‑config`	Optional	All	(String) 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.

`-f, ‑‑force-proxy-install`	Optional	All	(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`	Optional	All	Displays help for the command parameters.
`‑‑insecure`	Optional	All	Allow insecure server connections when using SSL.
`‑‑legacy`	N/A	Edge Public Cloud only	This parameter does not apply for Apigee installations.

Example

As the following example shows, it's important to capture the output of the provision command in a file, which is used as input for other Apigee Adapter for Envoy operations.

Example:

apigee-remote-service-cli provision --legacy --mfa $MFA --username $USER --password $PASSWORD \
--organization $ORG --environment $ENV > config.yaml

Samples command

Creates and lists sample configuration files.

Create sample configuration files

Creates sample configuration files for native Envoy and Istio deployments.

Usage

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

Description

This command requires a valid config.yaml file as input. This input file is the file that was 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 a 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.

`-c, ‑‑config`	Required	All	(String) 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`	Optional	All	Force the existing directory to be overwritten.
`-h, ‑‑help`	Optional	All	Displays help for the command parameters.
`‑‑host`	Used for Envoy templates only	All	(String) The target service host (default `httpbin.org`)
`-n, ‑‑name`	Optional	All	(String) The target service name (default `httpbin.org`)

`-t, ‑‑template`	Optional	All	(String) The Envoy or Istio template name. To see the available list of templates, execute the command `apigee-remote-service samples templates`. Default: `istio-1.9`. The default works for all 1.9+ versions of Istio.
`‑‑tls`	Optional, for Envoy templates only	All	(String) The directory containing `tls.key` and `tls.crt` files used for the adapter service.

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

apigee-remote-service-cli token rotate-cert [flags]
