The cloud platform has a number of constituent parts as shown in the diagram. So parts have to be explicitly created, others are created as part of the process of creating another service. The following diagram illustrates these elements involved and which ones we will need to create:
Components services used by API management
A brief summary of the key cloud services involved in providing the API platform:
- Storage: The cloud tier needs to keep track of configuration and analytics which needs storage capacity. Obviously for storage to be sized, we need to understand the non-functional requirements from which we can derive volumetric data that will help us complete sizing.
- Database (DBaaS)-Database as a Service: This is needed want to perform tasks such as holding analytical data and storing configurations.
