This SDK provides the comprehensive management plane interface for Azure API Management (APIM) within the .NET framework. It enables developers to programmatically provision, update, and manage the entire lifecycle of APIM resources, including APIs, Products, Subscriptions, Policies, and Users, directly through the Azure Resource Manager. It is essential for automating infrastructure setup and CI/CD pipelines.

This SDK provides comprehensive Python tools for managing Azure API Management (APIM) resources programmatically. Users can automate the entire lifecycle, including creating and updating APIM services, importing APIs from OpenAPI specifications (JSON or URL), defining product tiers, managing subscriptions, applying granular security policies (like rate limiting), and configuring backends and users.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement centralized security controls at the API gateway layer. It covers critical functionalities such as JWT authentication enforcement, advanced rate limiting, request/response validation against OpenAPI specs, and integrating Web Application Firewalls (WAF). The process is applicable across major platforms like Kong, AWS API Gateway, and Azure APIM, ensuring robust defense in depth for microservices architecture.

This guide details the implementation of Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM), enforcing Just-in-Time (JIT) role activation, mandatory approval workflows, and periodic access reviews for critical Azure AD and resource roles. It aligns with Zero Trust principles by eliminating standing privileges.

Microsoft Entra PIM enforces Just-in-Time (JIT) access by replacing standing (permanent) privileges with time-bound, eligible assignments. This workflow mandates explicit role activation, justification, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and optional approval workflows, significantly reducing the attack surface and ensuring adherence to Zero Trust principles for critical Azure and Entra roles.
