 This repository provides a playground to safely experiment with and learn Azure API Management (APIM) policies in various architectures.
 
 _If you are interested in APIM & Azure OpenAI integrations, please check out the excellent [AI Gateway][ai-gateway] GitHub repository._

-| [API Management & Container Apps][infra-apim-aca]                  | APIs are often implemented in containers running in Azure Container Apps. This architecture accesses the container apps publicly. It's beneficial to test both APIM and container app URLs to contrast and compare experiences of API calls through and bypassing APIM. It is not intended to be a security baseline.    |
-| [Front Door & API Management & Container Apps][infra-afd-apim-pe]  | A secure implementation of Azure Front Door connecting to APIM via the new private link integration. This traffic, once it traverses through Front Door, rides entirely on Microsoft-owned and operated networks. The connection from APIM to Container Apps is secured but through a VNet configuration (it is also entirely possible to do this via private link). APIM Standard V2 is used here to accept a private link from Front Door. |
-| [Application Gateway (Private Endpoint) & API Management & Container Apps][infra-appgw-apim-pe]  | A secure implementation of Azure Application Gateway connecting to APIM via the new private link integration. This traffic, once it traverses through App Gateway, uses a private endpoint set up in the VNet's private endpoint subnet. The connection from APIM to Container Apps is secured but through a VNet configuration (it is also entirely possible to do this via private link). APIM Standard V2 is used here to accept a private link from App Gateway. |
