I have done some googling but couldn't get a confirmed answer for this: Does Azure API management service provides a Static IP address? If not, how do i configure it?
Reason i am asking is because my on-premise server only accepts request from whitelisted IP address and therefore we need a static ip address from request coming from Azure API management.
The Azure Web Apps services do not offer static IPs.
1 Answer. We use a static IP address when we do not want to change the address connected to the device. A dynamic IP address is used when we want to change the address and assign other devices to access it.
Static public IP addresses are commonly used in the following scenarios: When you must update firewall rules to communicate with your Azure resources. DNS name resolution, where a change in IP address would require updating A records.
Azure api management shows a fixed ip address when you create the service.
We use this for the same scenario and we see all traffic from this ip.
Not much background info on it but this: https://www.nimbo.com/blog/azure-api-management-service-high-availability-disaster-recovery-backup-restore/ It is
Here the Faq on that https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-faq#is-the-api-management-gateway-ip-address-constant-can-i-use-it-in-firewall-rules
