Azure API Management (APIM)

Azure service for publishing, securing, transforming, monitoring and monetizing APIs through a gateway and developer portal.

Definition

API Management provides a gateway that applies policies such as rate limiting, JWT validation, caching and transformation; a management plane; and a developer portal. It fronts APIs hosted anywhere and offers tiers from Consumption to Premium with multi-region and VNet support.

Example

A rate-limit-by-key policy restricts each subscription key to 100 calls per minute.

Exam tip

API Management is Azure's equivalent of Amazon API Gateway; policies are the key exam topic.
