The API Connect v10 White Paper provides detailed information about IBM API Connect v10 deployment architectures. It aims to answer common questions about the purpose of pods, why an API manager component is needed, and best storage solutions. It also defines naming conventions, key concepts, and environment segregation patterns. The paper seeks to accelerate engagements by explaining deployment anti-patterns and risks up front to help users deploy API Connect optimally. It provides guidance on high availability patterns and anti-patterns to avoid.

Why was this paper written?
1. To provide detailed answers to questions I was receiving daily
• What does pod XXX do?
• Why do I need an API Manager component?
• What storage solution is best?
2. To provide information too accelerate services engagements
• Naming Standards
• Descriptions of Quorums in the context of API Connect
3. To provide a list of deployment anti patterns (and patterns)
• Explain the risks up front, clearly
