Difficulty: EasyProvision and Configure Azure API Management

You need to import an Azure Function App as a new API in an existing Azure API Management (APIM) instance using the Azure portal. In which order should you perform the configuration steps?

  1. 1Navigate to the API Management service instance in the Azure portal, and select APIs from the left menu.
  2. 2Click Add API, and select Function App from the Create from Azure resource list.
  3. 3Click Browse, select the target Function App, and choose the specific functions to import.
  4. 4Configure the API URL suffix, specify the display name, and click Create.

Answer

First, navigate to the API Management instance in the Azure portal and open the APIs section. Second, click Add API and choose Function App. Third, browse and select the Function App along with the specific functions. Fourth, configure the API URL suffix and click Create.
The correct sequence begins by navigating to the API Management service in the portal and opening the APIs blade. You then select Add API and choose Function App to configure the integration. Next, you browse and select the specific Function App and its functions. Finally, you set the URL suffix and display name, and click Create to complete the import.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Open the API Management instance in the Azure portal and click APIs.
Displays the API management workspace.
Before configuring or importing an API, you must navigate to the specific API Management service instance where the API will reside.
2
Select Add API and click Function App.
Initiates the import workflow specifically for Azure Functions.
Choosing the correct resource type tells APIM to read from Azure Function App configurations.
3
Browse for the target Function App and select its functions.
Selects the source functions to be exposed as API operations.
You must map specific backend function endpoints to API operations in APIM.
4
Set the URL suffix and click Create.
Completes the import and publishes the API.
Configuring the URL suffix ensures unique routing for the API within the APIM gateway before creation.
