Azure API Management

Learn the foundations of building and managing APIs with Azure. You’ll create RESTful APIs in Python, deploy them with Azure Function Apps, and integrate them into Azure API Management. Along the way, you’ll secure your APIs with authentication and API keys while exploring how large-scale systems manage performance and security.

Take your APIs to the next level by applying policies for security, transformation, and performance. You’ll use OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and CORS to secure access while implementing caching, quotas, and rate limits to keep APIs fast and reliable. By the end, you’ll know how to protect and optimize APIs for real-world usage.

Discover how to manage APIs at scale with automation, monitoring, and versioning. You’ll roll out new versions safely, monitor performance with Azure Monitor and Application Insights, and automate deployments with ARM templates. This chapter equips you with modern DevOps practices for API lifecycle management.
