Using azure-native apimanagement with resourcegraph

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To use Azure API Management with Azure Resource Graph, we'll utilize Pulumi's `azure-native` provider. Azure API Management is a solution for creating consistent API gateways for back-end services. It helps to secure, scale, and publish APIs to external, partner, and employee developers securely and at scale.

Azure Resource Graph is a service in Azure that is designed to extend Azure Resource Management by providing efficient and performant resource exploration with the ability to query at scale across a given set of subscriptions so you can effectively govern your environment. These queries provide the ability to explore resources and resource properties.

While Pulumi does not directly interact with Azure Resource Graph through the `azure-native` provider, we can define, deploy, and manage Azure API Management service and its fundamental components such as APIs, products, groups, and users.

Below is a TypeScript program using Pulumi which creates a basic Azure API Management instance. For this example, we'll focus on setting up the API Management service. Queries to Resource Graph could be performed using Azure SDKs or CLI tools, but are outside of the scope of Pulumi's functionality.

```typescript
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azureNative from "@pulumi/azure-native";

const resourceGroupName = "my-resource-group";
const apiManagementServiceName = "my-api-management-service";
const location = "West US"; // change to the location appropriate for you

// Create an Azure Resource Group
const resourceGroup = new azureNative.resources.ResourceGroup(resourceGroupName, {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroupName,
    location: location,
});

// Create an Azure API Management Service
const apiManagementService = new azureNative.apimanagement.Service(apiManagementServiceName, {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    serviceName: apiManagementServiceName,
    location: location,
    sku: {
        name: azureNative.apimanagement.ServiceSkuName.Developer, // Choose SKU as per your requirements
        capacity: 1, // SKU capacity
    },
    publisherName: "My Company", // Replace with your publisher name
    publisherEmail: "contact@mycompany.com", // Replace with your publisher email
});

// Export the API Management service endpoint
export const endpoint = pulumi.interpolate`https://${apiManagementService.name}.azure-api.net`;

```

In the above program:

- We import the necessary libraries from Pulumi.
- We define the resource group that will contain our API Management instance. A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution.
- We create the Azure API Management service and set basic configurations such as the SKU name and capacity.
  - The SKU name is set to 'Developer' for testing and development purposes. You can choose other SKUs like 'Basic', 'Standard', or 'Premium' based on your production workload requirements.
  - The publisher name and email must be set as these details are used in the Developer portal and email notifications.
- Finally, we export the endpoint URL of the API Management service with the DNS name, which will be available for API consumers once the APIs are published.

Please note that querying Azure Resource Graph requires a different approach, often involving Azure SDKs or command-line tools, such as Azure CLI or PowerShell, due to the nature of the queries wherein they are made post-deployment to gather information about the resources and their properties deployed across Azure subscriptions. Pulumi itself does not have built-in capabilities to perform queries to Azure Resource Graph.
