Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes cluster (1.24+)
• Helm 3.x
• kubectl configured
• cert-manager installed
• NGINX Ingress Controller

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://git.commandware.com/demos/api7-demo.git
   cd api7-demo
   

2. Create API7 credentials secret:

   # Copy the template
   cp api7-credentials.yaml.template api7-credentials.yaml
   
   # Get the admin key from API7 installation
   kubectl get secret -n api7ee api7ee3-0-1759339083 \
     -o jsonpath='{.data.admin_key}' | base64 -d
   
   # Edit api7-credentials.yaml and fill in the actual admin key
   vim api7-credentials.yaml
   
   # Apply the secret
   kubectl apply -f api7-credentials.yaml -n api7ee
   

3. Update values.yaml to use the secret:

   api7:
     gateway:
       existingSecret: "api7-credentials"
   

4. Deploy with Helm:

   helm upgrade --install api7ee-demo helm/api7ee-demo-k8s \
     --namespace api7ee \
     --create-namespace \
     --values values.yaml
   

5. Verify deployment:

   kubectl get all -n api7ee
   kubectl logs -n api7ee job/api7ee-demo-api7ee-demo-k8s-adc-sync
   curl https://commandware.it/api/health
