Do a "dry run" install. Execute theapplycommand with the--dry-run=trueflag. Doing a dry
run lets you check for any errors before any changes are made to the cluster.
Repeat this step until the pods are all ready.
The pods may take several minutes
to start up.
Enable synchronizer access
Create a GCP service account and add theApigee Organization Adminrole
to it. This service account will be used to authenticate an API call that you will make
in a later step. An easy way to create the service account is through the GCP console.
For instructions, seeCreating and managing service accountsin the GCP documentation.
Download the service account key to your system. Follow the instructions inCreating service account keysin the GCP documentation.
Move the downloaded service account key into your service accounts directory:/hybrid-base-directory/hybrid-files/service-accounts.
your_org_name: The name of your hybrid organization.
synchronizer-manager-service-account-email: The name of a service account
with theApigee Synchronizer Managerrole.
The name is formed like an email address. For example:apigee-synchronizer@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com
You must add the IP address of theMARTendpoint
to your Apigee organization. You set this value previously when set
the value of themart.hostAliasproperty in your overrides
file.
The management plane needs this address so that it can communicate with the runtime
plane over MART.
Follow these steps to add the MART IP to your organization:
Get the value you set previously in your overrides file for themart.hostAliasproperty. For MART to function, the host alias must
be a fully qualified domain name.
Locate the service account key with theApigee Organization Adminrole
that you downloaded previously, in the sectionEnable synchronizer access.
Be sure to save your overrides file. You will need this file to perform future upgrades,
patches, or any other modifications to the cluster configuration.

For more information, see [Supported versions](/apigee/docs/hybrid/supported-platforms#supported-versions).\n\nApply the configuration to the cluster\n--------------------------------------\n\n\nTo install Apigee hybrid into your cluster:\n\n1. Be sure that you are in the \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ehybrid-base-directory\u003c/var\u003e`/hybrid-files` directory.\n2. Verify that `kubectl` is set to the correct context. The current context should be set to the cluster to which you are deploying: \n\n ```\n kubectl config get-contexts\n ```\n3. Execute the `init` command: \n\n ```\n $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl init -f overrides/overrides-aks.yaml\n ```\n\n The `init` command installs the [Apigee deployment services](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.2/apigee-deployment-services)\n Apigee Deployment Controller and Apigee Admission Webhook, and it deploys non-Apigee\n components [Istio](https://istio.io/) and [Cert Manager](https://docs.cert-manager.io/en/latest/).\n4. To check the status of the deployment, you can use these commands: \n\n ```\n $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl check-ready -f overrides/overrides-aks.yaml\n ```\n\n\n and \n\n ```\n kubectl get pods -n apigee-system\n ```\n\n\n and \n\n ```\n kubectl get pods -n istio-system\n ```\n\n\n When the pods are ready, go to the next step.\n5. Do a \"dry run\" install. Execute the `apply` command with the `--dry-run=true` flag. Doing a dry run lets you check for any errors before any changes are made to the cluster. \n\n ```\n $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl apply -f overrides/overrides-aks.yaml --dry-run=true\n ```\n6. If there are no errors, you can apply the [Apigee-specific\n runtime components](/apigee/docs/hybrid/v1.2/what-is-hybrid#about-the-runtime-plane) to the cluster: \n\n ```\n $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl apply -f overrides/overrides-aks.yaml\n ```\n7. To check the status of the deployment: \n\n ```\n $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl check-ready -f overrides/overrides-aks.yaml\n ```\n\n\n Repeat this step until the pods are all ready.\n The pods may take several minutes\n to start up.\n\nEnable synchronizer access\n--------------------------\n\n1. Create a GCP service account and add the **Apigee Organization Admin** role to it. This service account will be used to authenticate an API call that you will make in a later step.

The name is formed like an email address. For example: `apigee-synchronizer@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com`\n\n Example: \n\n ```\n curl -X POST -H \"Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN\" \\\n -H \"Content-Type:application/json\" \\\n \"https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/my_org:setSyncAuthorization\" \\\n -d '{\"identities\":[\"serviceAccount:apigee-synchronizer@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com\"]}'\n ```\n6.
