• Install An Integration

Azion Integrations allows you to improve, compose, or customize your applications. These integrations are based on edge functions and are executed on the edge. This documentation will guide you to install an integration in an existing edge application.

Considering Azion Marketplace has integrations that run edge functions in two ways, you’ll need to proceed according to the type of integration you want to install:

• Edge Application integrations
• Edge Firewall integrations

These integrations run tasks and services on the edge, closer to the user, employing an existing edge application.

To install and instantiate this type of integration, follow the next steps.

Access Azion Console and go to Marketplace to select the integration you want to install.

After selecting the integration, click the Get It Now button, at the bottom-right corner of the page, and a successful message appears to confirm your integration is installed.

Once you’ve gotten your integration, you’ll have to select an edge application to use the integration. To do so:

1. On the upper-left corner, select Products menu > Edge Application on the BUILD section.
2. On the listing page of your edge applications, select the one you want to use with the integration.
3. On the application page, open the Main Settings tab and enable the Edge Functions switch.
4. Click the Save button.

To add the function and set the Args, still on the application page:

1. Select the Functions tab.
2. Click the Add Function button.
3. Choose an easy to remember name for your function.
4. On the dropdown function menu, select the function related to your integration.

This action will load the function, showing a form with the function’s code and, just above it, two tabs: Code and Args.

On the Code tab, you’ll be able to navigate through the code, but won’t be able to change it. On the Args tab, you’ll pass the parameters.

To finish, you’ll need to create a new rule, with the criteria and behavior to apply to your function.

Still on the application page, proceed as follows:

1. Select the Rules Engine tab.
2. Click on Default Rule.

• You can’t change the criteria field for the Default Rule on Rules Engine.

3. On the behavior field, select Run Function from the dropdown menu and then select the function, according to the name you gave it in the instantiation step.
4. Click the Save button.

Done. Now your function is running on the edge.

These functions take advantage of the features of Edge Firewall and Rules Engine to protect your network, applications, and resources from unauthorized access, malicious traffic, cyberattacks, bad bots, and other security threats.

To install and instantiate this type of integration, follow the next steps.

Access Azion Console and go to Marketplace to select the integration you want to install.

After selecting the integration, click the Get It Now button, at the bottom-right corner of the page, and a successful message appears to confirm your integration is installed.

To start the configuration of an Edge Firewall Integration, follow these steps:

1. On the Products menu, select Edge Firewall in the SECURE section.
2. Click the Add Rule Set button.
3. Give an easy-to-remember name to your edge firewall.
4. Select the domains you want to protect with the function.
5. Enable the Edge Functions switch.
6. Click the Save button.

To instantiate your integration, still on the Edge Firewall page:

1. Select the Functions tab.
2. Click the Add Function button.
3. Give an easy to remember name to your instance.
4. On the dropdown menu, select the function related to your integration.

This action will load the function, showing a form with the function’s code and, just above it, two tabs: Code and Args.

On the Code tab, you’ll be able to navigate through the code, but won’t be able to change it. On the Args tab, you’ll pass the parameters.

To finish, you have to set up the Rules Engine to configure the criteria and the behavior to run the function.

Still on the Edge Firewall page:

1. Select the Rules Engine tab.
2. Click the New Rule button.
3. Give a name to the rule.
4. Select a criteria to run and catch the domain you want to run the integrationn on. Example: if Hostname is equal xxxxxxxxxxxx.map.azionedge.net.
5. Below, select a behavior to the criteria. In this case, it’ll be Run Function.

• Select the adequate function according to the name you gave it in the instantiate step.

6. Click the Save button.

Done. Now your integration is running for every request made to the domain you indicated.

Some integrations are integrated with third-party tools to provide a more comprehensive and modern solution. Using this type of integration will require compliance with certain requirements such as creating an account or initial setup. In some cases, this integration could generate cost by usage.

Afterward, you can view all your integrations in your Edge Functions list. To review your functions, proceed as follows:

1. Access Azion Console.
2. Open the Products menu and select Edge Functions in the Edge Libraries section.

This wiil open the Edge Functions list, showing all your functions, including those related to integrations. Select any given function to check the details.

The integrations presented within Marketplace aren’t static. Azion and Azion’s partners can update them when they launch new features. Thus, the recommendation is to always have the most updated integration version.
