Follow the steps below to create a static IP address for the runtime load balancer. This
address exposes the hybrid runtime to API proxy
requests coming from outside the cluster.
If you are on GKE on AWS (Anthos), you don't need to create a static IP address.
Copy the external IP address you just reserved. For example: 34.56.78.90. You will
need it in a later step.
Get a registered domain
If you already have a registered domain, you can use it
for the Apigee hybrid installation. If not, you can register a domain
name through Google Domains or another
domain registrar of your choice.
Configure your DNS
Create a new A type record in a zone in your DNS server as follows:
Specify a DNS zone subdomain name. For example, suppose your zone's parent domain is acme.com, the subdomain name might
be myapi. In this example, the address would be:
myapi.acme.com.
Set the A record address to the numeric IP address of your static IP, in dotted decimal format.
For example: 34.56.78.90.
If you do not have an existing domain available to use, we provide a quickstart example that
shows how to use Google Domains and Google Cloud DNS to create a domain and set up a DNS zone.
See DNS quickstart.
