-------------------------------------------------

Deploy APIM with Confidence - Evgeny Borzenin

In this presentation, Evgeny covers different ways to continuously deploy APIM resources such as APIs, Products, Policies and Named Values.

The presentation is in English in "slides + hands-on demos" format. Evgeny starts with a high-level introduction of APIM as a product, defines concepts and terminology and then focuses on a real APIM use-case - Vipps AS. He demonstrates how APIM CI/CD pipeline was implemented in Vipps with all challenges, experiences and some ideas on how to improve the pipeline in the future.

There will be a hands-on demo of 2 different APIM resources deployment techniques, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each approach:

• with ARM templates
• with APIM Rest API.

Finally, there will be a brief introduction of Pester as a testing framework for a post deployment verification of APIM resources.

The presentation advocates the use of automation, teams autonomy and teams taking up responsibilities for deployment.
