In a challenge lab you’re given a scenario and a set of tasks. Instead of following step-by-step instructions, you will use the skills learned from the labs in the course to figure out how to complete the tasks on your own! An automated scoring system (shown on this page) will provide feedback on whether you have completed your tasks correctly.
When you take a challenge lab, you will not be taught new Google Cloud concepts. You are expected to extend your learned skills, like changing default values and reading and researching error messages to fix your own mistakes.
To score 100% you must successfully complete all tasks within the time period!
This lab is recommended for students who have completed the labs in the Deploy and Manage Apigee X quest. Are you ready for the challenge?
Topics tested:
Read these instructions. Labs are timed and you cannot pause them. The timer, which starts when you click Start Lab, shows how long Google Cloud resources are made available to you.
This hands-on lab lets you do the lab activities in a real cloud environment, not in a simulation or demo environment. It does so by giving you new, temporary credentials you use to sign in and access Google Cloud for the duration of the lab.
To complete this lab, you need:
You are a Cloud Engineer for Cymbal Shops, a national retailer. Cymbal Shop's API team is planning to use Apigee to integrate with its various partners and provide a merchandise catalog, and you are responsible for setting up and securing the Apigee X evaluation org.
You are expected to have the skills and knowledge for these tasks, so step-by-step guides are not provided.
Some Cymbal Shops standards you should follow:
A Cymbal Shops colleague has already used the Apigee X provisioning wizard to enable the required APIs, create the VPC network (api-vpc), and create the network's required subnet (api-subnet). They also started step 3 of the wizard to create the Apigee evaluation organization in the
You have received an email asking you to finish the configuration of the Apigee X evaluation org. Read through each task description, and then create the required resources.
The Cymbal Shops development team wants to use two separate environments and environment groups. In addition to the eval environment and eval-group group, the development team wants an additional environment named staging that is contained in an additional environment group named staging-group.
Requirements:
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
The development team needs the evaluation org to be accessible from the internet.
Requirements:
When access routing has been set up successfully, the hello-world API deployed to the eval environment can be called with a request similar to this:
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
The development team would like to allow-list the IP address of the runtime instance. Use Apigee X's NAT IP address feature to provide a static IP address.
Requirements:
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
The development team wants to protect their backend services from remote code execution.
Requirements:
An example of a request that would be detected by the remote code execution rule is:
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
The staging environment cannot take traffic until it is attached to the runtime instance.
Requirements:
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
Over the course of this challenge lab you have demonstrated your knowledge of Apigee X deployment and management.
