Drupal-based portal for Apigee with Cloud security
Apigee customers using VPC Service Controls have the option to host their developer portal on Google Cloud from within their own Google Cloud project. Publish your APIs securely by deploying a portal within your project's VPC Service Controls perimeter and integrate with Apigee using Apigee's open source Drupal modules. The Apigee Developer Portal Kickstart available in Cloud Marketplace simplifies this process using click-through configuration and bundled deployments.
NOTE: Customers who do not require VPC Service Controls may want to consider leveraging a Drupal hosting partner to reduce their operational overhead. This solution will provision the Google Cloud components necessary to deploy a Drupal-based developer portal using Apigee Kickstart. This is a self-managed solution, and customers are responsible for capacity planning, maintaining Drupal module updates, and other operational tasks.
