Azure API Management Landing Zone Accelerator

Azure API Management Landing Zone Accelerator provides packaged guidance with reference architecture and reference implementation along with design guidance recommendations and considerations on critical design areas for provisioning APIM with a secure baseline. They are aligned with industry proven practices, such as those presented in Azure landing zones guidance in the Cloud Adoption Framework.

Reference Architecture

🔍 Design areas

The enterprise architecture is broken down into six different design areas, where you can find the links to each at:

Design Area	Considerations	Recommendations
Identity and Access Management	Design Considerations	Design Recommendations
Network Topology and Connectivity	Design Considerations	Design Recommendations
Security	Design Considerations	Design Recommendations
Management	Design Considerations	Design Recommendations
Governance	Design Considerations	Design Recommendations
Platform Automation and DevOps	Design Considerations	Design Recommendations

🚀 Deployment scenarios

This repo contains the Azure landing zone accelerator's reference implementations, all with supporting Infrastructure as Code artifacts. The scenarios covered are:

▶️ Scenario 1: Azure API Management - Secure Baseline

Deploys APIM with a secure baseline configuration with no backends and a sample API.

▶️ Scenario 2: Azure API Management - Function Backend

On top of the secure baseline, deploys a private Azure function as a backend and provision APIs in APIM to access the function.

▶️ Scenario 3: Azure API Management - Gen AI Backend

On top of the secure baseline, deploys private Azure OpenAI endpoints (3 endpoints) as backend and provision API that can handle multiple use cases.

More reference implementation scenarios will be added as they become available.

Supported Regions
