Public Preview: Environmental sustainability features in Azure API Management

Azure API Management now supports environmental sustainability features in public preview. These capabilities help organizations minimize the carbon footprint of their API infrastructure by making API traffic and policy behavior carbon-aware. With these new features, you can: * Shift and load-balance API traffic to backend regions with lower carbon intensity. * Shape API traffic dynamically based on real-time carbon emissions in your API Management region. * Build carbon-intelligent policies using the new context.Deployment.SustainabilityInfo.CurrentCarbonIntensity property to adapt caching, telemetry, or rate-limiting based on emission levels. These sustainability-aware capabilities empower teams to align API operations with corporate sustainability goals and promote more efficient, environmentally responsible API and AI workloads.
