Azure API Management updates for August
Published date: August 07, 2019
On August 7th, we started a regular Azure API Management service update. The update includes the following bug fixes, changes, and new features along other improvements:
- Improvements to OpenAPI specification export – including returning base path with a leading slash for version 2 and handling duplicate content-types
- Removal of API reports (analytics) from the publisher portal – this experience has been fully migrated to the Azure portal interface
- New metrics emitted by the service: backend duration and requests (multidimensional); documentation coming soon
- Fix for overriding ServiceURL in the API contract
- Support for wildcard template parameters in API console in the developer portal
- Fix for a validate-jwt policy regression in the Consumption tier
Additionally, we have carried out the following improvements in the Azure portal:
- Support for importing Linux-hosted Function Apps as APIs
- Support for exporting Linux-hosted Function Apps to API Management from their own interface
- Object schema generation from a sample – manual or automated from the test console
- Object schema management panel
- Redesigned policy sidebar in the policy editor view in the Azure portal
- Enriched editing experience with the “Edit” menu button in the OpenAPI specification (JSON) editor
We deploy updates gradually. It usually takes a week or more for every active service instance to receive the updates.
