We are working on reintroducing support for workspaces on the built-in gateway in Azure API Management, effectively rescinding parts of the previously announced breaking changes.
What’s changing?
If your API Management service uses preview workspaces on the built-in gateway and meets the tier-based limits below, those workspaces will continue to function as-is and will automatically transition to general availability once built-in gateway support is fully announced.
API Management tier |
Limit of workspaces on built-in gateway |
Premium and Premium v2 |
Up to 30 workspaces |
Standard and Standard v2 |
Up to 5 workspaces |
Basic and Basic v2 |
Up to 1 workspace |
Developer |
Up to 1 workspace |
Why this change?
We introduced the requirement for workspace gateways to improve reliability and scalability in large, federated API environments. While we continue to recommend workspace gateways, especially for scenarios that require greater scalability, isolation, and long-term flexibility, we understand that many customers have established workflows using the preview workspaces model or need workspaces support in non-Premium tiers.
What’s not changing?
Other aspects of the workspace-related breaking changes remain in effect. For example, service-level managed identities are not available within workspaces.
In addition to workspaces support on the built-in gateway described in the section above, Premium and Premium v2 services will continue to support deploying workspaces with workspace gateways.
