Azure API Center is now generally available, providing a centralized solution to manage the challenges of API sprawl, which is exacerbated by the rapid proliferation of APIs and AI solutions. Azure API Center offers a unified inventory for seamless discovery, consumption, and governance of APIs, regardless of their type, lifecycle stage, or deployment location. Key features of Azure API Center * API Inventory Management: Organizations use Azure API Center to create an up-to-date API catalog. This catalog includes essential metadata like API names, descriptions, lifecycle stages, and owners. It also tracks version history, deployments, and technical specifications. Custom metadata can be added to capture organization-specific API information.
