Project Apiman provides a policy-based runtime governance for REST APIs, providing an easy access to functionality such as rate limiting or metric collection. The goal of this thesis is to make the Vert.X implementation of Apiman's API gateway available in the runtime environment of OpenShift Container Platform.

The student will get familiar with both Apiman and OpenShift, as well as study the concepts of Api management. Based on this, the student will then create a deployment template which will:

• Define all OpenShift objects (e.g. services, pods, config maps, secrets)
• Allocate all required resources (e.g. persistence volumes)
• Start required containers
• Any missing docker images should be created as part of this work.

This template should be suitable for production-grade deployment of the Apiman gateway into OpenShift. The entire deployment process will be properly document and the student will demonstrate it by providing a working environment with deployed API Gateway.

Additionally the student should also explore the possibility of tighter integration between the gateway and OpenShift (such as service discovery and policy configuration).

The outcome of this thesis should be acceptable as a contribution to the Apiman project.
