Creator

This utility creates Resource Manager templates for an API based on the OpenAPI Specification of the API. Optionally, you can provide policies you wish to apply to the API and its operations in seperate files.

Create the Config File

The utility requires one argument, --configFile, which points to a yaml file that controls the ARM templates generated by the Creator tool. The file contains a Creator Configuration object whose schema and related schemas are listed below:

Creator Configuration

Sanitizing tags

While creating config file, please keep in mind that the tag resource name will be generated from sanitized tag's display name.

For example config:

tags: 
 - displayName: tag 1
 - displayName: tag 2

Will result two tag resources:

Tag 1:
  resource name = tag-1
  display name = tag 1

Tag 2:
  resource name = tag-2
  display name = tag 2

In case there are two different tags which result the same sanitized tag's name program will throw an exception with conflicting tags.

Running the Creator

Below are the steps to run the Creator from the source code:

  • Clone this repository and restore its packages using dotnet restore
  • Navigate to {repo root}/src/ARMTemplates directory
  • Run the following command: dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION
  • Run the following command to pass apim Name as a parameter: dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION --apimNameValue apimname1
  • Run the following command to pass api name to generate ARM templates only for this specified APIs semicolon separated where the api1 (api name) will be same as name used in valid.yml file for that api(here it is myBackend): dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION --preferredAPIsForDeployment myBackend;api2;api3;
  • Run the following command to pass BackendUrls as an json input file into the parameter(sample file available in the same path as below in this repository): dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION --backendurlconfigFile .\apimtemplate\Creator\ExampleFiles\BackendUrlParameter\BackendUrlParameters.json
  • Run the following command to pass AppinsightsName and Appinsights InstrumentationKey as an parameter: dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION --appInsightsInstrumentationKey 45d4v88-fdfs-4b35-9232-731d82d4d1c6 --appInsightsName myAppInsights
  • Run the following command to pass namedValueKeys as an parameter to provide environment specific named values with key name and value like following:
  • Add new key to namedValues section in valid yaml file then use the same key name here in this cli parameter Here namedvalue displayname can not have | or ; in their name. dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION --namedValues namedvalue1|namevaluevalue1;namedvalue2|namevaluevalue2 Add new key to namedValues section in valid yaml file then use the same key name here in this cli parameter Here displayName can not have | or ; in their name.
  • Run the following command dotnet run create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION --parameterizeNamedValuesAndSecrets " " to parameterize namedValues and KeyVault Secrets and allow to use single ARM template for multiple environments

You can also run it directly from the releases.

Additionaly, the Creator can also be made available as a global dotnet CLI tool in your Azure DevOps artifacts or private NuGet repository. Build the Creator, and run the following commands to package the Creator as a dotnet tool:

dotnet pack -c Release
dotnet tool install -g --add-source .\bin\Release ArmTemplates

The Creator tool is now available anywhere on the command-line:

apim-templates create --configFile CONFIG_YAML_FILE_LOCATION

Extractor

This utility generates Resource Manager templates by extracting existing configurations of one or more APIs in an API Management instance.

Prerequisite

To be able to run the Extractor, you would first need to install the Azure CLI.

Running the Extractor

Below are the steps to run the Extractor from the source code:

  • Clone this repository and navigate to {repo root}/src/ARMTemplates
  • Restore its packages using dotnet restore
  • Make sure you have signed in using Azure CLI and have switched to the subscription containing the API Management instance from which the configurations will be extracted.
az login
az account set --subscription <subscription_id>

Extractor Arguments

You have two choices when specifying your settings:

  1. By using a json file with key-values where the keys matches the table below. Use the extractorConfig argument: extract --extractorConfig c:/temp/extractSettings.json. See more examples.
  2. Pass the arguments on the command line. For instance extract --sourceApimName my-feature-apim --destinationApimName company-stable-apim --resourceGroup my-feature-rg --fileFolder c:\temp\apim-extract --apiName MyFeatureV1Api.
Property Required Value
sourceApimName Yes Name of the source APIM instance.
destinationApimName Yes Name of the destination APIM instance.
resourceGroup Yes Name of the resource group.
fileFolder Yes Path to output folder
apiName No Name of API. If provided, Extractor executes single API extraction. Otherwise, Extractor executes full extraction. Note: This is the "Name" value as seen in the API settings, not "Display Name" and is case sensitive.
linkedTemplatesBaseUrl No Linked templates remote location. If provided, Extractor generates master template and requires linked templates pushed to remote location.
linkedTemplatesUrlQueryString No Query string appended to linked templates uris that enables retrieval from private storage.
linkedTemplatesSasToken No String appended to end of the linked templates uris that enables adding a SAS token or other query parameters.
policyXMLBaseUrl No Policy XML files remote location. If provided, Extractor generates policies folder with xml files, and requires they be pushed to remote location.
splitAPIs No If set to "true", then generate multiple api folders, each api will have a seperate folder, with a separate master template to deploy this api. If this single api has a version set, then a version set folder will generate instead, then all apis that belongs to this version set will be included in the version set folder, apis in this version set can be deployed separately using every api's master template, or they can be deployed together using the master template in "VersionSetMasterFolder" folder
apiVersionSetName No Name of the APIVersionSet. If provided, extract all apis within this apiversionset. It will generate seperate folder for each api and also a master folder to link all apis in this apiversionset
multipleAPIs No Specify multiple APIs to extract. Generate templates for each API, also generate an aggregated templates folder to deploy these APIs together at a time
includeAllRevisions No Set to "true" will extract all revisions for the single API. Will work only with "apiName" paramter, where you specify which API's revisions to extract. Generate templates for each revision, also generate an aggregated master folder to deploy these revisions together at one time. Note: there are many complicated issues with deploying revisions, make sure your deployment won't overwrite or break the existing ones
baseFileName No Specify base file name of the template files
policyXMLSasToken No Specify sasToken for fetching policy files
linkedTemplatesSasToken No Specify sasToken for fetching linkedTemplate files
paramServiceUrl No Set to "true" will parameterize all serviceUrl for each api and generate serviceUrl parameter to api template/parameter template/master template files
paramNamedValue No Set to "true" will parameterize all named values and add named values parameter to property template/parameter template/mastert template files
paramApiLoggerId No Set to "true" will parameterize all logger ids in all apis (within api templates), Also includes the "All API" monitoring configuration
paramLogResourceId No Set to "true" will parameterize all loggers' resource ids (within logger template)
serviceBaseUrl No Specify the base url where you want to run your extractor
notIncludeNamedValue No Set to "true" will not generate Named Value Templates
paramNamedValuesKeyVaultSecrets No Set to true will parameterize all named values where the value is from a key vault secret
paramBackend No Set to true will parameterize specific backend values (limited to resourceId, url and protocol)
extractGateways No Set to true will attempt to extract the Self Hosted Gateways.
overrideGroupGuids No Set to true will override the group id in output template in case it does not match with system predefined values.
overrideProductGuids No Set to true will override the product id in output template in case it does not match with system predefined values.
paramApiOauth2Scope No Set to true will parametrize the scope values for APIs in which User authorization setting set to OAuth 2.0.
apiParameters No Parameterize api parameters (Oauth2 Scope/Service Url) values for APIs in advance.
exctractSecrets No By default false. If set to "true" secrets will be extracted as well and parameters templated will be supplied with actual secret values. Currently applies to identityProvider service.
extractIdentityProviders No By default false. Set to true will attempt to extract the identity providers from service.
parametersOutputDirectoryName No If set will redefine the output folder name for parameters. By default will be equal to {service-name}-parameters
excludeBuildInGroups No By default false. Set to true will exclude builtIn groups from groupsTemplate.

Note

  • Can not use "splitAPIs" and "apiName" at the same time, since using "apiName" only extract one API
  • Can not use "apiName" and "multipleAPIs" at the same time
  • Can only "includeAllRevisions" with "apiName"
