Azure API Management, versioning

Azure API Management allows for versioning. This can be intended in three ways:

• Versions and revisions
• Control over the API version scheme
• Git configuration

Versions and Revisions

Azure API management allows for versioning and revisioning. Versions are created from revisions. Each version can have more revisions. One revision for each version may be online at one time.

Control over scheme

When creation a version from a revision, it is possible to choose the versioning scheme that might fit better.

The options available are:

• Header

• Path

• Query String

Git Configuration

It is possible to configure API Management from GIT as described in (feature not available on consumption plan):

I then cloned the repository:

I will try now to add some policies from by fiddling the configs.

I will add a reference to a global policy XML from inside the API global config:

I will edit the file and add some CORS policy:

I will push the new configuration:

From the portal I will deploy:

The new policy will be in place:

Summary

API management empowers developers to do more with less and at the same time providing them with tools they are familiar with
