Create an Azure API management instance.

To create a new instance, we can use Azure Portal, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or ARM templates. Below, I'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to create a new APIM instance using the Azure Portal:

Azure Portal:

Sign In:

• Navigate to Azure Portal and sign in with your Azure account credentials.

Create a New Resource:

• Click on the “+ Create a resource” button (usually located at the top left-hand corner).
• In the “Search the Marketplace” box, type “API Management” and select it from the dropdown list.
• Click the “Create” button on the API Management service description page.

Fill in the Basics:

• Subscription: Choose the Azure subscription you want to use.
• Resource Group: Select an existing resource group or create a new one.
• Service Name: Enter a unique name for your APIM instance. This name will form part of the default domain for your service (<service-name>. azure-api.net).
• Location: Select the region in which you want to deploy your APIM instance. Consider placing it close to your API backends or target audience.
• Organization name: Enter the name of your organization.
• Administrator email: Provide an email address where you want to receive notifications.
