sagdevops-ansible-apigateway

Ansible roles specific to webMethods APIGateway

Roles:

• apigateway-files-configurator
  • These are configuration tasks that modify the files on webMethods APIGateway server(s) (and as such, these tasks must be run on the target APIGateway servers)
• apigateway-rest-configurator
  • These are configuration tasks that strictly leverage the REST APIs provided by webMethods APIGateway (and as such, these tasks can be run from anywhere with network access to the target webMethods APIGateway REST endpoints)

Note: For a sample Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) project that leverages these roles, head on over to webmethods-ansible-api-gateway, maintained by SoftwareAG Government Solutions's

Using Containers

Building the containers

To build containers for the configurators

First set some environment variables to specify the build arguments:

export REG=
export TAG=0.0.1
export SAGDEVOPS_BASE_ANSIBLE=${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common-utils:0.0.1

Then, build the configurators by running:

docker build --rm -f Dockerfile.rest -t ${REG}apigateway-rest-configurator:${TAG} --build-arg BASE_ANSIBLE_IMAGE=${SAGDEVOPS_BASE_ANSIBLE} .

docker build --rm -f Dockerfile.files -t ${REG}apigateway-files-configurator:${TAG} --build-arg BASE_ANSIBLE_IMAGE=${SAGDEVOPS_BASE_ANSIBLE} .

This will create 2 containers:

• ${REG}apigateway-rest-configurator:${TAG}
• ${REG}apigateway-rest-configurator:${TAG}

Testing validity of the containers

Test apigateway-rest-configurator:

docker run ${REG}apigateway-rest-configurator:${TAG} ping.yml

Test apigateway-files-configurator:

docker run ${REG}apigateway-files-configurator:${TAG} ping.yml
