Step 2 - Create the Infrastructure Environment

In this lab, we are the Infrastructure team and we will deploy the instances in their environments so that the API team can expose the API on them.

The NMS UI

  1. Login to JumpHost Win10 RDP. Login is user and password is user

  2. Open Chrome and click on the NMS bookmark

  3. Sign in to NMS as admin and password admin

  4. You can change the UI to Dark mode if you prefer it :)

    • Click on the profile icon on the top right
    • Change toggle to Dark Mode

  5. You can notice two modules installed and licensed

    • Instance Manager - included and licensed by default
    • API Connectivity Manager (ACM) - installed from the official Nginx repo and licensed

Connect to ACM and create the infrastructure environment

  1. Click on API Connectivity Manager and Infrastructure

  2. Create a Workspace and name it team-sentence

  3. Create an environment

    1. Name : sentence-env

    2. Type : Non-Prod

    3. Add an API Gateway cluster

      • Name : api-cluster
      • Hostname : api.sentence.com

    4. Add a Developer portal cluster

      • Name : devportal-cluster

      • Hostname : dev.sentence.com

        ../../../_images/acm-infra-env.png

    5. The environment is now created, and you can see the commands to execute to link NGINX instances to your NMS.

    6. Click on Go to sentence-env
