Who This Is For

You are an Enterprise Platform Operator or DevOps Engineer responsible for:

• Orchestrating multiple Gateway Groups across different environments and regions.
• Managing Enterprise RBAC and API tokens for secure access to the Control Plane.
• Ensuring 99.99% availability of the API7 EE infrastructure.
• Implementing zero-downtime configuration deployments and rollbacks.
• Hardening security via Global Rules and Enterprise Plugins across Gateway Groups.

Core Enterprise Concepts

In API7 EE, your operational model shifts from managing a single instance to managing a multi-tenant platform:

1. Gateway Groups: The primary unit of isolation and deployment.
2. Control Plane (Dashboard): Central management hub (default port 7443 HTTPS).
3. Data Plane (Gateways): Distributed instances that execute the configuration.
4. API Tokens: Required for all CLI operations (--token).
