The resources allocated to the proxy application varies based on the type of proxy you are using. For example, the CloudHub proxy includes a CPU with 0.1 vCores and a memory of 500 MB, by default. If required, modify the resource allocation from [Runtime Manager](https://docs.mulesoft.com/cloudhub/deploying-to-cloudhub#change-settings-of-a-deployed-application.adoc). ## Prerequisites Before you deploy your API proxy, complete the following requirements if you work in a Runtime Fabric or hybrid cloud environment: - Runtime Fabric - Obtain the Manage APIs Configuration and Deploy API Proxies permissions on your account. - Use Mule version 4.1.2 or later. - Hybrid: - For private servers, obtain access to a Mule runtime engine (Mule) instance configured for your organization. For information about how to configure a Mule instance as a server, see [register a server in Runtime Manager](https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/servers-create). - Register your private server with a Mule agent that is compatible with your Mule instance. Use the Mule Agent specified in the release notes. ## Deploy Your API Proxy Deploy your proxy by completing the following steps: 1. Navigate to **Anypoint Platform** > **API Manager**. 2. In **API Administration**, click **Add API** and select **Add new API**. 3. Select **Mule Gateway** as your runtime. 4. Select **Deploy a proxy application** for **Proxy type**. 5. If you selected to deploy a proxy application, select the **Target type** from the following options: - **CloudHub 2.0**: Select this option if you want to use the Mule runtime hosted by MuleSoft in a container-based cloud infrastructure. The CloudHub 2.0 proxy includes a CPU with 0.1 vCores by default. 1. Select a space. To learn more about spaces, see [Shared Spaces](https://docs.mulesoft.com/cloudhub-2/ch2-shared-space-about) and [Private Spaces](https://docs.mulesoft.com/cloudhub-2/ch2-private-space-about). 2. In **Runtime version**: 1. Select the **Runtime Channel**. 2. Select the **Version** for Mule runtime. 3. Select the **Java version**. 3. Enter a **Proxy app name**. - **CloudHub**: Select this option if you want to use the Mule runtime hosted on the cloud by MuleSoft. The CloudHub proxy includes a CPU with 0.1 vCores and a memory of 500 MB, by default. 1. In **Runtime version**: 1. Select the **Runtime Channel**. 2. Select the **Version** for Mule runtime. 3. Select the **Java version**. 2. Enter a **Proxy app name**. - **Hybrid:** Select this option if you want to use a Mule runtime instance running on an on-premises server that is registered in Runtime Manager. See [Register a server in Runtime Manager](https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/servers-create) for more information. 1. Select a target from the list or click **Add server**. 2. Enter a **Proxy app name**. - **Self-managed Server:** Select this option if you want to create a JAR file to deploy an API proxy to a Mule runtime instance running on an on-premises server that is not registered in Runtime Manager. For more information, see [On-Premises Mule Runtime Deployment Model](https://docs.mulesoft.com/on-premises/latest/mule-deployment-model). Deploying an API proxy to a self-managed server in API Manager doesn’t deploy the proxy to your on-premises server. After you deploy the proxy in API Manager, deploy the proxy to your on-premises server: . [Download your new API proxy JAR file](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/latest/download-proxy-task). . [Deploy the JAR file to your on-premises server](https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule-runtime/latest/deploy-on-premises). - **Runtime Fabric:** Select Runtime Fabric if you want to deploy API Proxies to a Mule runtime engine that is managed on Runtime Fabric. See [Deploying API Proxies to Runtime Fabric](https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-fabric/latest/proxy-deploy-runtime-fabric) for more information. 1. Select a target from the list. 2. In **Runtime version**: 1. Select the **Runtime Channel**. 2. Select the **Version** for Mule runtime. 3. Select the **Java version**. 3. Enter a **Proxy app name**. 1. Select an API from the following options: - Click **Select API from Exchange** if you have an API shared with you through Exchange that you want to manage. 1. Click the API from the list under **Select API**. You can search for a specific API if needed. 2. Update the **Asset type**, **API version**, and **Asset version** if you are not using the latest version. For more information about versions in Exchange, see [Asset Versions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/exchange/asset-versions). 3. If you chose a **RAML/OAS** asset type, view the **Conformance Status** of the API to ensure the API is conformant. If the **Conformance Status** is nonconformant, after deployment, view the **Governance Report** to find and fix the conformance issues. For more information about the **Governance Report**, see [Governing API Instances](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/latest/govern-api-instances). - Click **Create new API**: 1. Enter a **Name** for the new API asset. 2. Select the **Asset type** from the following options: - **REST API:** Select this option if you have a RAML or OAS API definition file you want to include for your asset. Upload either a RAML or OAS file for your REST API. Versions 2.0.0 and later are the recommended versions for OAS or RAML specs, because these versions add native OAS support. If you upload an OAS API specification to an API proxy version 1.0 or earlier, your API specification is translated to RAML. - **HTTP API:** Select this option if you do not have an API definition file you want to include for your asset. For WebSocket APIs, select HTTP and then choose the WebSocket subtype when selecting the API from Exchange. WebSocket instances can use HTTP or AsyncAPI assets from Exchange. - **SOAP API:** Select this option if you have a WSDL API definition file or an external link to the file. Upload a WSDL file for your SOAP API or add the link to the file. - **GraphQL API:** Select this option if you have a GraphQL schema definition file you want to include for your asset. Upload the GraphQL schema definition for your GraphQL API. 3. Update the **Asset type**, **API version**, and **Asset version** if you are not using the latest version. For more information about versions in Exchange, see [Asset Versions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/exchange/asset-versions). 4. If you chose a **RAML/OAS** asset type, view the **Conformance Status** of the API to ensure the API is conformant. If the **Conformance Status** is nonconformant, after deployment, view the **Governance Report** to find and fix the conformance issues. For more information about the **Governance Report**, see [Governing API Instances](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-manager/latest/govern-api-instances). 1. Click **Next**. 2. Configure the downstream configuration settings: Expand for configuration settings.
