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.
