Azure API Management Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure API Management. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: This file may be large. Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections, then use read_file with specific line ranges (e.g., L136-L144) to read the sections needed for the user's question

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Category Index

Category	Lines	Description
Troubleshooting	L37-L46	Diagnosing and fixing API Management issues: error handling policies, request tracing/debugging, Key Vault cert/domain problems, portal issues, SNAT port exhaustion, and using Diagnose and Solve.

Decision Making	L57-L77	Guidance for strategic APIM decisions: choosing tiers, scaling and costs, networking, DevOps/CI-CD, migrations (portals, workspaces, APIs, AWS), analytics/monitoring, and monetization.
Architecture & Design Patterns	L78-L84	Patterns for placing API Management behind App Gateway/WAF, Azure Front Door, or AKS, including routing, security, and high‑availability reference architectures.
Limits & Quotas	L85-L105	Limits, quotas, and validation in API Management: rate limiting, per-key quotas, OpenAI/LLM token limits, protocol format restrictions, WSDL/REST conversion, WebSocket limits, and validate-* policies.
Security	L106-L148	Securing Azure API Management: authN/authZ (Entra ID, B2C, OAuth2/JWT, certs, managed identity), TLS/certs, portal access, network protection, policies, and self-hosted gateway security.
Configuration	L149-L247	Configuring Azure API Management behavior: policies, caching, networking/VNet, logging/metrics, credentials, subscriptions/users, self-hosted gateways, and developer portal integration.
Integrations & Coding Patterns	L248-L278	Patterns and samples for integrating API Management with AI/LLM backends, OAuth, GraphQL, MCP, logging/monitoring, Event Grid/Hubs, Service Bus, and importing/exporting APIs.
Deployment	L279-L300	Deploying and scaling APIM: multi-region, VNet and zone setups, self-hosted gateways (K8s/Docker/Arc), backup/restore, migration, automation, and developer portal deployment.
