How to create an edge service

You can create an edge service by using:

Via Azion Console

Section titled Via Azion Console

To create an edge service, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to Azion Console > Edge Libraries > Edge Services.
  2. Click on the Add Service button.
  • Your service will be created automatically.
  • You can change the name of the service by clicking on My New Service in the name field.
  1. Go to the Resources tab and click Add Resource.
  2. Configure the resources you need for your service, using the triggers: Install, Reload, or Uninstall.
  3. Optional: where you’ve used variables in the content of one or more resources, you can set the default values for them in the Environment tab.
  • The variables must be in the format Variable = Value, where Variable has been used in the content of resources that are already registered.
  1. Activate the service by enabling the switch in the bottom-left corner in the Environment tab.
  2. Click on the Save button.

Via API

Section titled Via API
  1. Run the following POST request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and informing the name of the service being created:
Terminal window
curl --location 'https://api.azionapi.net/edge_services/' \
--header 'Accept: application/json; version=3' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
  "name": "string"
}'

Now, the service is available and able to be deployed onto the edge nodes.
