You can install Apigee hybrid on a number of platforms, including Google Distributed Cloud (on bare metal or VMware), AWS, Bare Metal, EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), OpenShift, and others. For a list of supported platforms
see Apigee hybrid: supported platforms.
Permissions
Each supported platform has its own permission requirements for creating a cluster. As cluster
owner, you can proceed to install the Apigee-specific components (including cert-manager and the
Apigee runtime) into the cluster. However, if you want to delegate to another user the
installation of the runtime components into the cluster, you can manage the necessary permissions
through Kubernetes
authn-authz.
