British Airways was seeking a scalable and flexible API management solution to support its expanding digital infrastructure. To ensure effortless API management with complete infrastructure control, they aimed to implement Apigee Hybrid on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS).Technical Considerations
Implementing Apigee Hybrid on AWS EKS required careful architectural planning to balance scalability, security, and operational ownership. The environment demanded Kubernetes-native deployment, full infrastructure automation using Terraform, and strict alignment with the airline’s internal security policies. Identity federation, image vulnerability scanning, PCI scope reduction, and hardened network configurations were essential to meet compliance standards. Additionally, phased API migration, testing frameworks, and validation controls were implemented to ensure stability across mission-critical airline services.
