Description

This course is a comprehensive guide to Microsoft Azure API Management (APIM), designed to help learners understand how to securely publish, manage, monitor, and consume APIs at scale using Azure’s API Management services.

The course begins with an introduction to API Management concepts, explaining why API gateways are essential in modern application architectures. You will learn how Azure API Management acts as a façade between backend services and client applications, enabling centralized control, security, and monitoring.

As you progress, the course covers provisioning and consuming APIs through the API Management Gateway, giving you hands‑on understanding of how APIs are exposed, secured, and accessed. You will learn how to configure APIs, manage subscriptions, and control access using built‑in gateway capabilities.

A major focus of the course is on API policies, which allow you to enforce rules such as transformation, throttling, caching, and security. You will work with policy expressions and implement a JWT token validation policy, enabling secure authentication and authorization for APIs.

The course also introduces Microsoft Azure fundamentals, helping learners understand how API Management fits into the broader Azure ecosystem. Additionally, you will gain a foundational understanding of Azure DevOps, highlighting how API Management integrates with DevOps workflows for deployment and lifecycle management.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to confidently design, secure, and manage APIs using Azure API Management services in real‑world scenarios. Practice tests are included to reinforce learning and validate understanding.
