Public Preview: Premium v2 Tier for Azure API Management

Announcing the public preview of the Premium v2 tier for Azure API Management designed to support enterprise-scale API programs with higher capacity, advanced networking options, and unmatched flexibility.  

The Premium v2 tier introduces a new architecture that separates management traffic from the customer VNet, simplifying private networking and enhancing security.  

Key capabilities include:  

• Improved VNet injection: No need for network security group rules, route tables, or service endpoints. Microsoft and customers can manage their respective infrastructure and workloads independently.  
• Flexible networking configuration: Route outbound traffic through an NVA, enforce forced tunneling, or monitor inbound traffic with a WAF—without architectural constraints.  
• Enterprise-grade scale and performance: Unlimited included calls, highest entity limits, and high availability to meet the needs of complex API landscapes.  

The Premium v2 tier is ideal for organizations operating large-scale, mission-critical API ecosystems that demand robust performance, security, and control.
