About This Site

This is my blog about API Management and Microsoft Azure – Especially Azure API Management, Azure PaaS, Azure Compute, and Azure Migration.

What is API Management?
API Management is the process of creating and publishing web APIs. This API Management process covers: enforcing API usage policies, controlling access, subscriber community features, collecting and analyzing usage statistics, and reporting on performance.

What is Microsoft Azure?
It is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers.
It provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and supports many different programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

Native support for WebSocket APIs (public preview) in Azure API Management. This enables you to manage, protect, observe, and expose your WebSocket API in API Management, alongside REST and SOAP APIs.

It is available in all API Management pricing tiers (except Consumption) and every region where the API Management service is available. A regular API Management Service update will start in June and it may take several weeks for your service to receive the feature.

Here are some important takeaways from the announcement:

Native support for WebSocket APIs in Azure API Management
Add a WebSocket API in API Management via a simple gesture in the Azure portal, or via the management API and Azure Resource Manager.
It is available in all API Management pricing tiers and every region where the API Management service is available.
You can manage both WebSocket, SOAP, and REST APIs with API Management.
