Public Preview: Microsoft Agent 365 integration with Azure API Management
The integration between Microsoft Agent 365 and Azure API Management is now available in public preview, helping organizations connect centralized governance with runtime enforcement for MCP servers and tools.
Public Preview: AI Gateway in Azure API Management
The AI Gateway tier for Azure API Management is now available in public preview. Building on the AI gateway capabilities already available across API Management tiers, the new AI Gateway tier provides a dedicated experience optimized for AI workloads.
Generally Available: Azure API Management adds support for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) APIs
As organizations build more agentic applications, agent-to-agent communication is becoming a critical part of enterprise AI systems.
Generally Available: Azure API Management workspaces now support the built-in gateway
Organizations using workspace-based API management models previously needed a dedicated workspace gateway and Premium tier deployment to take advantage of API Management workspaces increasing both cost and operational complexity.
Public Preview: Azure API Management introduces a Unified Model API for multi-model AI applications.
As organizations adopt multiple LLM providers, developers often need to handle different API formats, SDKs, and integration patterns for each model vendor. This increases application complexity and makes provider switching, failover, and governance more difficult.
Generally Available: Azure API Management now supports AI gateway capabilities for Anthropic and Vertex AI models.
As organizations integrate external AI providers into production applications, platform teams need consistent ways to secure, govern, and observe model interactions across providers.
Generally Available: Azure API Management now supports content safety controls for MCP and A2A APIs.
As organizations deploy more agentic applications and MCP-based tools, enforcing consistent safety and compliance policies across agent interactions becomes increasingly important.
Public Preview: Azure API Management now supports token metrics for all token types
As organizations adopt advanced AI models, understanding token consumption is becoming more complex.
Generally Available: Azure API Management Premium v2 and Standard v2 now support wildcard custom hostnames.
As API estates grow, managing individual custom domains and certificates for every subdomain can quickly become operationally complex and difficult to scale.
Generally Available: Azure API Management Premium v2 now supports multiple custom domains
Organizations often need to expose APIs, developer portals, and management endpoints under different branded or organizational domain names- — for example, api.contoso.com for external partners, apis.hrportal.contoso.com for an internal HR platform, and dev.europe.contoso.com…
Generally Available: Azure API Center now supports agent registration, agent assessment, and Git-based synchronization.
As organizations increasingly build autonomous AI agents to automate workflows and orchestrate enterprise tasks, developers need a centralized way to discover, govern, and reuse these capabilities across teams.
Generally Available: Azure API Center now provides a data plane MCP server for enterprise-wide discovery of APIs and AI assets.
As organizations adopt MCP-based tooling and AI agents at scale, developers need a simpler way to discover and connect to the growing ecosystem of enterprise MCP servers, tools, APIs, and AI assets.
