Features and Enhancements

CI/CD - Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment

• The APIIDA API Gateway Manager now supports RESTful APIs to manage the Gateway Manager and the connected gateways.

  • A new /migrate endpoint allows a safe way to migrate (one or more) resources (like Services) to any connected target, including a list of targets. All necessary steps, like changing variables, intelligent mapping and creating the folder structure will be done automatically.

  • Additional endpoints help to administer the Gateway Manager, like create/remove existing nodes.

• Define Migration Pipelines, including pre- and post-steps for every migration, like sending a webhook to an already existing test-tool. With this, a fully automated flow for a CI/CD pipeline can be established.

• A new Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the Gateway Manager and performing migrations, can be used for existing CI/CD tools, like Jenkins.

Venafi Trusted Protection Platform integration

• Integration to the Venafi Platform automatic Machine Identity Protections. Migrate new or updated certificates from the Venafi Platform directly to all managed gateways. Changes can be automatically detected and updated on the gateways. This integration can be used for Private Keys, als well as for Trusted Certificates.

Admin Tools

• Support for Admin Tools from the APIIDA API Service Manager. With this, the Gateway Manager is able to change the following settings, directly on the gateway

  • Cache settings for a node or a service

  • Remove/Add a cluster from a load balancer

  • Show status from backend systems

Authentication

• Authenticate against a LDAP directory, like MS Active Directory

• Fallback to local authentication is automatically activated, in case of connection issues to the LDAP directory

Migration

• Intelligent Mapping of IDs: Mapping of IDs will be done automatically between source and target gateway. If the IDs doesn’t match, the Gateway Manager automatically mapps by name.

• Migrate more services in each migration step to save time.

• Migrate services and resources to more the one target at once to save time

• Migrate services or resources to whole environment (or multiple environments)

• If a variable will be changed in the migration process, the original value of this variable will be shown.

• One-Click-Migration: If the migration overview step isn’t necessary, the option “Execute Migration with Default Settings” can be chosen for a One-Click-Migration.

• Save migrations

• Repeat saved migrations

• Migration overview
