|---|---|---|
| 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 | Planning and migration guidance for Azure API Management: scaling and pricing, cost control, networking, DevOps/CI/CD, monetization, and moving between tiers, portals, APIs, and 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-L99 | Limits, quotas, and validation rules in API Management: request/concurrency caps, per-key and bandwidth quotas, LLM token limits, SOAP/WSDL/WebSocket constraints, and validate-* policies. |
| Security | L100-L141 | Securing APIs and APIM: authN/Z (Entra ID, B2C, OAuth2, JWT, mTLS, basic), managed identities/RBAC, secure portals/self-hosted gateways, security policies, and DDoS/Defender protections. |
| Configuration | L142-L236 | Configuring Azure API Management services, gateways, networks, caching, monitoring, and detailed policy behaviors (rate limits, CORS, headers, LLM/GraphQL, backends, domains, and developer portal). |
| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L237-L268 | Patterns and samples for integrating API Management with external services (LLMs, Event Hubs, Service Bus, Graph, GitHub, Dapr), importing APIs (OpenAPI, SAP, web apps), and using policies/callouts. |
| Deployment | L269-L288 | Deploying and scaling API Management: autoscale, multi-region, DR/backup, VNet and zone deployment, self-hosted gateways (AKS/Kubernetes/Docker/Arc), automation, and certificate planning. |
