The Apigee APIM Operator
The Apigee APIM Operator enables lightweight API management and API Gateway capabilities directly within Google Kubernetes Engine
API producers can manage and secure APIs using Kubernetes resource definitions, reducing complexity and streamlining workflows
The operator enforces API policies at the load balancer level, simplifying networking configurations and improving API security
Role-based access control (RBAC) integration allows platform administrators, infrastructure administrators, and API developers to have tailored access
Developers can configure API management using Kubernetes-like YAML, eliminating the need to switch between tools
Administrators can create APIM template rules with RBAC, enabling different groups to apply specific API management policies
The Public Preview supports only REST APIs, up to 25 GKE Gateway resources, and does not allow region extension or HTTPRoute policy attachments
Factory-built defaults and workload customization are supported for quick setup and API lifecycle management
The APIM Operator addresses feedback about Apigee's complexity by providing a streamlined, Kubernetes-native API management solution
Google Cloud plans to add support for GraphQL, gRPC, and expand Gateway resource and policy attachment limits in future updates
