Automate networking across Google Cloud runtimes with Consul and Apigee

The integration of Consul with Apigee allows for service-to-service communication across environments, enabling authorization based on business hours and conditions such as allow/deny based on IP addresses or API keys. This combination provides a scalable solution for managing APIs, allowing operators to automate networking and offload service-to-service authorization to external tools like Apigee. Consul's Envoy extension capabilities with the Apigee adapter enable granular control over security, rate limiting, quotas, analytics, and more for all services, while also automating and offloading mTLS authentication and encryption between network services. The solution proposed here involves installing the Apigee remote Envoy service onto the Consul service mesh to enforce authorization policies provided by the central Apigee authority in Google Cloud.
