Integrate your sandbox with devops automation tool
If you are considering adding the sandbox into an automation tool like Jenkins or Ansible, you can create a template that defines a sandbox configuration. For example, you are a site reliability engineer or developer and your goal is to quickly create a sandbox and test code changes.
Follow these steps to learn how to create a file that defines the method for creating a sandbox and the origin mappings for your development environment.
-
Create a template similar to this:
{ "sandbox": { "clonable": true, "properties": [{ "property": "prod.example.com:42", } ] }, "clientConfig": { "sandboxServerInfo": { "secure": false, "port": 9550, "host": "127.0.0.1" }, "originMappings": [{ "from": "origin-www.example.com", "to": { "secure": false, "port": 8080, "host": "localhost" } }] } }
In this example, the sandbox will be created from version
42
ofprod.example.com
, and all requests fromorigin-www.example.com
will resolve tolocalhost port 8080
in the development environment.
-
Modify the
originMappings
for your development environment, then save it with a JSON extension, for example:recipe.json
. -
Run this command to create a sandbox based on that configuration:
akamai sandbox create --recipe=/dev/recipe.json
You'll see a response like this:
abc-zyx1:sandbox-cli ajones$ akamai sandbox create --recipe=/dev/recipe.json
validating recipe file
building origin list
Detected the following origins: www.ipqa-origin.com, dev.example.com
? Would you like the Sandbox Client to proxy these to the destination defined in the Akamai config? Yes
