We are pleased to announce that Azure API Management is now generally available in Microsoft Azure Government.

API Management is a turnkey, full-lifecycle solution for publishing APIs to external and internal consumers. Customers use API Management to quickly create consistent and modern API gateways for existing back-end services hosted anywhere. API Management helps you secure and protect APIs and provides insights into API usage and health.

API Management is critical for organizations who are working to:

• Embrace digital transformation and achieve efficiency and agility by using APIs internally and externally • Make existing services and data available to partners and citizens • Grant mobile and web apps access to critical systems while protecting them with authentication, rate limiting, and quotas
