Sometimes you don’t want to expose all the operations of your API on APIM. For example, you might have an API that has a lot of operations, but you only want to expose a subset of those operations on APIM. Or you might have an API that has operations that are not meant to be called by external consumers. In this post, I’ll show you how you can expose a subset of your openapi spec via Azure devops on APIM.

When deploying your Azure API management via ARM templates you want to avoid putting environment depending variables in your template files. But injecting all settings via a parameter file is sometimes easier said than done. In my case, I needed to set an API policy to verify a certificate thumbprint. And that simple thing took me a few hours.
