| -Microsoft uses a *safe deployment practices framework* to thoroughly test, monitor, and validate service updates, and then deploy them to Azure regions using a phased approach. Even so, service updates that reach your API Management instances could introduce unanticipated risks to your production workloads and disrupt your API consumers. Learn how you can apply our safe deployment approach to reduce risks by validating the updates before they reach your production API Management environments. |
