Using a127 with Apigee Edge for Private Cloud

If you're using an Apigee Edge for Private Cloud installation, this topic will help you to configure an a127 account properly.

An a127 account is simply a file that contains information about a deployment target. So, for instance, if you wish to deploy to Apigee Edge, you'll need to create an a127 account that is configured for deploying to Edge.

If you are using an Edge cloud account, then most of the default parameters in the account creation script are sufficient. However, if you are deploying to an on-premises Edge installation, then this topic will help you.

You create an a127 account with the create command:

a127 account create <give an account name>

For example:

```
a127 account create apigee-target-account
```

Inputs:

• Provider: Select apigee

• Do you already have an account on apigee: Enter Yes

• Base URI: Enter the URI for the Edge management server for your on-prem installation.
