API Management

• Service Update Configuration for Azure API Management (GA) : Service update settings for Azure API Management give greater control over when and how APIM instances receive platform updates — including new features, security patches, and reliability improvements. Select an update group to control how early in the rollout cycle an instance receives updates, and configure custom maintenance windows for updates to occur. This can allow configuration of canary deployments for APIM.
