Whiteboard: Apigee X Network Fundamentals (Northbound)

[miguelmendoza]

Hey All,

In this video I create a whiteboard diagram explaining the core Apigee X network architecture that gets created when you spin up an Apigee X runtime instance.

This is follows up from a previous video where I provisioned Apigee X from scratch using the pay-as-you-go payment model. (see https://youtu.be/TtVAiAScD50)
