Azure API Management (APIM) Training
Design Secure APIs. Drive Digital Scale.
Get Azure API Management trained and master enterprise-grade API governance.
Course Overview
Iteanz’s Azure API Management (APIM) Training is designed to equip IT professionals and developers with the skills required to design, secure, publish, and manage APIs in enterprise-scale cloud environments. Going beyond basic API concepts, the course focuses on advanced APIM capabilities such as policy configuration, authentication and authorization, traffic management, monitoring, and API lifecycle governance across modern integration scenarios.
Learners gain hands-on experience working with API gateways, developer portals, versioning, rate limiting, security policies, and analytics to build reliable and scalable API ecosystems. By the end of the program, participants are prepared to implement robust API management solutions, support large-scale cloud integrations, and confidently manage APIs using Azure API Management best practices.
Prerequisites
Technical Background:
- At least 1 year of experience building or integrating web APIs or services (REST/HTTP, JSON, basic security concepts).
- Basic understanding of Azure core concepts (resource groups, Azure portal, identity, networking) equivalent to AZ‑900 fundamentals.
Skills and tools:
- Familiarity with REST tools such as Postman or curl, and at least one programming stack (e.g., .NET, Java, Node.js) for API backends.
- Basic understanding of authentication and authorization (API keys, OAuth 2.0, JWT) to follow security modules effectively.
Learning Objectives
Explain key concepts of Azure API Management: APIs, operations, products, subscriptions, policies, and gateways, and common enterprise scenarios for using APIM.
Provision and configure an Azure API Management instance, import APIs from OpenAPI/Swagger and Azure services, and publish them to internal or external consumer.
Secure APIs using subscriptions, keys, certificates, OAuth 2.0, and JWT validation, and apply policies for rate limiting, quota, caching, and transformation.
Design and manage API lifecycle with versioning, revisions, products, and developer onboarding via the Developer Portal.
Monitor and troubleshoot APIs using built‑in analytics, Azure Monitor, and integration with Application Insights and logging.
Automate APIM configuration with ARM/Bicep, templates, or scripts, and integrate APIM into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions) for repeatable deployments.
Who Can Attend
Cloud Architects looking to design secure API ecosystems.
Backend Developers who need to expose services to web or mobile clients.
DevOps Engineers aiming to automate API deployments via CI/CD pipelines.
Integration Specialists working on hybrid or multi-cloud connectivity.
IT Administrators responsible for monitoring and governing organizational APIs.
Curriculum
Module 1: Introduction to Azure API Management
- API and API gateway fundamentals; role of APIM in modern architectures (microservices, B2B, mobile, partner integration).
- Azure APIM architecture: management plane, data plane, self‑hosted gateway; basic and advanced use cases.
- APIM SKUs, pricing considerations, and environment strategies (dev/test/prod, multi‑region).
Module 2: Getting started with APIM
- Provisioning an APIM instance in the Azure portal; resource groups, networking, and access control basics
- Tour of APIM blades: APIs, Products, Subscriptions, Policies, Users, and Analytics.
- Lab: Create an APIM instance, lock down access by IP or vNet (where applicable), and explore management experience.
Module 3: Importing and publishing APIs
- API concepts in APIM: APIs, operations, backends, and schemas.
- Importing APIs from OpenAPI/Swagger, Azure App Service, Functions, Logic Apps, and WSDL for SOAP; defining operations and test calls.
- Lab: Import a sample REST API, configure operations, test through APIM console and external client (e.g., Postman).
Module 4: APIM policies – core
- Policy model in Azure APIM: scopes (global, API, operation, product) and execution pipeline.
- Common policy types: forward‑request, set‑header, rewrite‑uri, request/response transformations, CORS, and logging.
- Lab: Apply transformation policies to clean up responses, add custom headers, and implement CORS for a sample frontend.
Module 5: APIM policies – advanced
- Advanced policies: rate limit and quota, caching, retry, IP filtering, and conditional logic with policy expressions (C#‑based).
- Organizing and reusing policies across multiple APIs; policy best practices for maintainability.
- Lab: Implement rate limiting and per‑subscription quotas; enable response caching and validate behavior with repeated calls.
Module 6: Security and identity in APIM
- Built‑in security mechanisms: subscriptions, primary/secondary keys, and roles/users.
- Securing APIs with OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect and JWT tokens; validating claims and scopes at the gateway.
- Mutual TLS and certificate‑based access for backend and client authentication.
- Lab: Configure a secured API using OAuth 2.0 or JWT, add a validate‑jwt policy, and test with a protected client.
Module 7: Products, subscriptions, and developer portal
- Packaging APIs into Products; visibility, approval, terms of use, and rate limits at product level.
- Managing developers and subscriptions; keys, renewal, and revocation practices.
- Developer Portal overview: branding, documentation, interactive testing, and onboarding workflows.
- Lab: Create public and internal products, configure subscription workflows, and publish APIs to the Developer Portal for consumer use.
Module 8: Versioning, revisions, and lifecycle
- API versioning strategies (path, header, query) and when to use each in APIM.
- Revisions for safe changes and gradual rollout; controlling visibility of preview vs. stable APIs.
- Deprecation, backward compatibility, and communication patterns with consumers.
- Lab: Add a new version of an existing API, manage revisions, and switch a consumer application to the new version.
Module 9: Monitoring, logging, and analytics
- Built‑in APIM analytics: calls, latency, cache hits, top APIs and consumers, failure analysis.
- Integration with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights for end‑to‑end tracing and alerting.
- Designing dashboards and alerts for SLA monitoring and capacity planning.
- Lab: Enable and query APIM diagnostics in Log Analytics, correlate APIM logs with backend logs in Application Insights.
Module 10: Networking and enterprise integration
- Securing APIM with virtual networks, private endpoints, and IP restrictions.
- Exposing on‑premises or hybrid backends using VPN/ExpressRoute, and using APIM with other Azure integration services (Functions, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid).
- Self‑hosted gateway scenarios for multi‑cloud and on‑prem deployments.
- Lab: Configure APIM to call a backend in a restricted network (demo scenario) and test access patterns.
Module 11: Automation, DevOps, and governance
- Infrastructure as Code for APIM: ARM templates, Bicep, and scripting approaches to export/import configuration.
- Integrating APIM into CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions for automated deployments across environments.
- Governance practices: naming conventions, tagging, role‑based access control (RBAC), and policy libraries.
- Lab: Export an APIM configuration, parameterize it, and deploy to another environment via a simple pipeline.
Module 12: Capstone project and review
- Capstone: design and implement an end‑to‑end API solution with APIM – import backend APIs, secure them, apply policies, onboard a consumer, and expose to a mock production environment.
- Review of key concepts, exam‑oriented Q&A (if mapped to any Microsoft certification objectives), and personalized guidance on production adoption patterns.
