Expose a subset of your openapi spec on azure APIM

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.

Powershell and Azure on MacOS

As a mobile developer 90% of the time I work on a mac. Visual Studio for Mac is an awesome tool to create Xamarin mobile apps. More than not mobile apps are using services. You can use .NET Core to create APIs but deploying them isn’t so easy on a mac.
