Update To API Management Workspaces Breaking Changes: Built-in Gateway & Tiers Support
Hi budzynski
Do you have any timeline for when we can deploy Workspaces that can use the default/built in Gateway of API Management? Private Preview? Public Preview? GA?
I think we kind of missed the first preview where this where available and went straight to the GA, that required use of Workspace Gateway. This was not ideal and had to many constrains for our use.
Questions:
Custom domains: If a Workspace targets the built‑in gateway, can it inherit and serve the APIM service’s custom domain for the built‑in gateway?
Network topology: Will Workspaces function with the built‑in gateway when APIM is deployed in VNET internal mode and fronted by Application Gateway for external publication? (use of same gateway address as APIM Instance)
Geo‑redundancy: We use multiple Locations for geo presence in APIM. If Workspaces use the built‑in gateway, are those Workspace‑published APIs automatically available across all locations (i.e., geo‑redundant), or is additional configuration required?
Thanks

Yes, workspaces deployed on the built-in gateway will "share" the properties of that gateway, such as hostnames, private networking, scale, protocol settings, distribution across configured regions. We don't have precise timelines to share at the moment; we anticipate this functionality to roll out gradually through the first half of 2026.- Joachim LøeAug 15, 2025Brass Contributor
