Requirements
Basic IT background is recommended, but API/GCP/Cloud experience is NOT needed
This is low-code cloud service, so coding experience is NOT required

Description
Note that this course doesn't require any prior experience on APIs or Google Cloud Platform(GCP). Necessary Cloud and API basics are covered in the course. Learn the market-leading API Management service i.e. Apigee X, with this HANDS-ON DRIVEN course. Apigee X is one of the most popular fully-managed cloud-native service for implementing API Gateway on HTTP services and managing complete lifecycle for the APIs. It is hosted on Google Cloud Platform, which is one of the fastest growing major Cloud Provider. This course offers a holistic learning journey for anyone wanting to explore numerous enterprize-grade solutions offered by this feature-packed Cloud service. New to GCP, Cloud or APIs? No worries.Suitable for everyone - beginners & experiencedCovers the necessary Cloud and API fundamentals in initial dedicated sectionsExplore Apigee X essential concepts and features, then organically dive into advanced features and implementations with subsequent sections. Familiar with GCP and/or APIs but not with API Management? Somewhat familiar with API Management? GOOD, now go from Beginner/Intermediate to EXPERT!Explore with me why do we even need API Management and how smart solutions can be built around APIs using Apigee X. Use latest Cloud Console UI for all hands-on. Helpful for existing Apigee developers who want to learn new UI and features.  You'll learn GCP and Apigee essentials very quickly, but in second-half of the course, you'll also get to learn many crucial concepts and Cloud solutions. That should help you gain crucial knowledge not just for Apigee, but useful for most IT areas:- Learn Service Accounts, IAM, OAuth2 Flows(SSO), CORS, Okta (third-party IdP) for API security and access controls. Understand Cloud Run Functions & Application Integration Service basics to make them backend APIs on Apigee. Understand REST, SOAP and GraphQL basics along with their implementation on Apigee X. Understand what's really TLS/SSL flow, and implement it on Apigee X Trust Store Implement networking architectures using Google Cloud VPCs, Private Service Connect(PSC), Network Peering, Network Endpoint Groups and GCP Load Balancers Use Apigee REST API for operations like Debug Masking, Key-Value Maps, Runtime Instance configs etc..  Learn to configure Custom Domain and SAML SSO for Developer Portal. Explore Local Proxy Development using Cloud Code Extension in Visual Studio CodeExplore Cloud Logging and Monitoring features for API ObservabilityI am confident that this practical guide would help tremendously whether your goal is just up-skilling yourself or whether you want to actively implement the service in your own organization.Happy Learning !!
