Azure api management

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: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

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-L45	Diagnosing and fixing APIM issues: policies and error handling, request tracing/debugging, custom domain/Key Vault cert failures, SNAT timeouts, portal problems, and using Diagnose and Solve.
Best Practices	L46-L55	Best practices for caching, throttling, security (OWASP API Top 10), SSE setup, and running the self-hosted gateway on Kubernetes in production for Azure API Management.
Decision Making	L56-L74	Guidance for planning and migrating API Management: pricing and scaling, cost control, DevOps/CI/CD, VNet choices, workspace and portal changes, and moving from legacy or other platforms.
Architecture & Design Patterns	L75-L81	Patterns for placing API Management behind App Gateway/WAF, Azure Front Door, or AKS, including routing, security, and high‑availability reference architectures.
Limits & Quotas	L82-L100	Limits, quotas, and validation rules in API Management: service and gateway limits, request/concurrency caps, LLM token quotas, SOAP/WSDL/WebSocket constraints, and validate-* policies.
Security	L101-L144	Securing Azure API Management and AI Gateway: authN/Z (OAuth2, Entra ID, B2C, mTLS, JWT), certificates, RBAC, private networking, policies, self-hosted gateway, and Defender/DoS protections.
Configuration	L145-L240	Configuring Azure API Management behavior: policies, caching, domains, networking/VNet, monitoring/logging, developer portal, gateways, backends, subscriptions, users, and automation templates.
Integrations & Coding Patterns	L241-L272	Patterns and samples for integrating API Management with LLMs, backends, logging/monitoring, events, OAuth, GitHub, Dapr, and exporting/importing APIs via OpenAPI, Postman, and Power Platform
Deployment	L273-L292	Deploying and scaling API Management: multi-region, VNet/external, self-hosted gateways (AKS/K8s/Docker/Arc), backup/DR, migration, automation, and managed cert/portal deployment.
