Announcing: API Center Standard now included at no additional cost for linked Azure API Management Standard and Premium tiers

API Center Standard, previously a separate paid offering, is now included at no additional cost for all Azure API Management Standard and Premium customers, when an API Center instance is linked with a corresponding Azure API Management service (for both classic and v2 SKUs). With this update, organizations can now use API Center Standard without incurring additional charges once integration is configured, bringing even greater value to existing Azure API Management deployments. API Center enables teams to track and manage APIs in a centralized location, making it easier to drive discovery, reuse, and governance across the organization. It provides a single source of truth for all APIs, helping teams catalog APIs across environments, improve visibility across the API landscape, and empower developers to find and reuse APIs across teams and business units. This update enhances the overall value of Azure API Management, helping customers simplify API operations and accelerate innovation without adding cost or complexity once integration is enabled.
