AI Gateway tier of API Management now in public preview
So to my understanding this is a separate product to APIM which is more centred around managing AI related traffic and governance. It covers the MCP and AI endpoint estate by providing authention api and mcp proxying, governance and observability, and also a registry in one place.
Is this intended to be complementary to APIM or is this intended to replace APIM in the future?
In honesty, I've always found APIM a bit cluncky for my needs and this looks like a far better interface specifically for managing AI related traffic - while leaving normal while leaving regular api management and integrations in APIM. I like that approach if so, because it helps me keep AISecOps seperate to regular traffic.
I'd seen products like Statlock Toolhive and Runlayer gain a lot of ground and often wondered when this would become a thing.
Any indication when we can get this in Australia?
