New analytics and debug data pipeline for data residency-enabled orgs

Newly created Apigee hybrid v1.13.1 orgs created with data residency enabled can use a new data pipeline to collect analytics and debug data and allow various runtime components to write data directly to our control plane. You cannot use the new data pipeline with non data residency-enabled orgs; only new orgs created on hybrid v1.13.1 can use this new feature. For details, see Using data residency with Apigee hybrid.

With this release, all remaining Apigee API Management organizations with Subscription 2021 contracts have been upgraded to introduce standard and extensible API proxy features.

To learn more about:

• Standard and Extensible API Proxy types, see API Proxy types.
• Viewing proxy deployment count, see View proxy deployment usage.

A new "Get started with API hub" page was added to the user interface. This new page includes valuable getting started information, including a new FAQ, to help you get the most out of API hub.

We added a new Supply chain page where you can create, view and manage your dependencies across API operations. The same dependencies can also be created from the API operations page. See Manage dependencies.

The Semantic Search (formerly Smart Search) user interface has been improved, and search results are shown across all API hub entities, such as APIs, deployments, specifications, and versions. See Search and filter APIs.

We added support for GMEK and CMEK in the provisioning steps. While provisioning, you can also choose to host your Vertex search data in a different location or disable Vertex search altogether. See Provision API hub.

We added support for Cloud audit logging.

The List APIs for specifications, dependencies, and external APIs have been enhanced to return a complete response, including user-defined attributes.

While you can use API hub by making direct REST over HTTP requests, we now provide client libraries for several popular languages. See API hub client libraries.

Significant user interface improvements were made, such as standardization of cards on the API details page, unlinking of deployments, various performance fixes, and more.

If you have CMEK org policy constraints on your Google Cloud project, Apigee will enforce compliance with those constraints and guide you in choosing valid configuration, and prevent you from using Apigee features that are not CMEK-compliant.

The following documents are new and explain how to use CMEK with Apigee:

• Using organization policy constraints in Apigee
• Best practices for Apigee CMEK

The following documents have been updated with the relevant CMEK information:

• Introduction to CMEK
• Compare evaluation and paid organizations in Apigee
• Provisioning an eval org
• Provision a paid org without VPC peering
• About the Apigee encryption keys
• Compatible services

Release of Cloud IAM-based authorization and authentication and the VerifyIAM policy.

This release introduces Cloud IAM-based authorization and authentication for Apigee API access. With this IAM-based solution, access to invoke an API requires the API consumer to have a specific Google Cloud IAM role or permissions.

For information, see IAM-based API authentication overview and VerifyIAM policy.

With this release, Apigee supports Workforce Identity Federation.

Workforce Identity Federation lets you use an external identity provider (IdP) to authenticate and authorize a workforce — a group of users, such as employees, partners, and contractors — using Identity and Access Management (IAM) to access Apigee services.

See Access Apigee using Workforce Identity Federation for more information.

The XSLT Transform data transformer function is now available. This function transforms the specified XML string using the specified XSL string.

Proxy-specific security actions

You can now create security actions that apply only to one or more specified proxies.

This new functionality is not available with Apigee hybrid at this time.

See Security actions to learn more about proxy-specific security actions.

An informational message was added to the action creation flow for Apigee Security actions, informing users that actions can't be edited or deleted.

With the non-VPC peering provisioning approach, you are not required to provide networks and IP ranges during the Apigee provisioning process. Instead, you use Private Service Connect (PSC) for routing northbound traffic to Apigee and southbound traffic to target services running in your Google Cloud projects. Non-VPC peering is supported for command-line (CLI) steps only. You can perform non-VPC provisioning for subscription, Pay-as-you-go, and evaluation installations of Apigee.

To learn more, see Apigee networking options.

You can now edit an uploaded API specification's metadata through the Cloud console. See Edit specification metadata.

You can now choose in the Cloud console to restrict the upload of an API specification file that contains errors. By default, specs containing errors are uploaded. See Add a spec to an existing version.

When an Apigee API proxy is auto-registered, its deployment type is now labeled either Apigee X or Apigee hybrid. Existing Apigee proxy deployments registered with API hub will also be labeled with the appropriate type. See Auto-register Apigee proxies.

All API proxy endpoints auto-registered from Apigee will be prefixed with https:// by default. Endpoints for existing API proxies that were added to API hub will be updated.

A validation check has been added to reject an API specification style guide upload if the style guide's extends property contains a URL. See Upload a new style guide.
