1. Centralized Machine Learning API Governance with Azure API Management

    Python

    Centralized Machine Learning API governance is an essential aspect of managing the lifecycle and consistent delivery of ML APIs in an organization. Azure API Management (APIM) provides a comprehensive solution for publishing APIs to external, partner, and internal developers to unlock the potential of their data and services.

    In the context of a machine learning API, APIM will be the intermediary that enables the controlled access and monitoring of your ML APIs, along with policies to transform and protect your API. Here's what Pulumi can do to help you set up APIM for your ML APIs:

    1. Service Creation: Set up an Azure API Management service that acts as a gateway for your APIs.
    2. Open ID Connect Providers: Configure authentication for your APIs using OpenID Connect providers if needed.
    3. Policy Configuration: Define policies for request and response transformations, rate limits, and more.
    4. API Definitions: Import your machine learning API definitions into APIM.
    5. Products and Groups: Organize APIs into products, and define user groups for access control.
    6. Monitoring and Analytics: Integrate with monitoring and analytics tools to keep track of the health and usage of your APIs.

    Below is an example of how you can use Pulumi to set up some of these aspects of API governance for your Machine Learning APIs in Azure:

    import pulumi import pulumi_azure_native as azure_native # We are assuming you have the correct Azure configurations in place such as location and resource group name. # First, we create an instance of Azure API Management (APIM) apim_service = azure_native.apimanagement.ApiManagementService("myApimService", resource_group_name="myResourceGroup", location="westus", publisher_name="My Company", publisher_email="contact@mycompany.com", sku=azure_native.apimanagement.SkuDescriptionArgs( name=azure_native.apimanagement.SkuType.DEVELOPER, # Choose a SKU that fits your needs capacity=1 )) # Define an API that corresponds to your Machine Learning service ml_api = azure_native.apimanagement.Api("myMachineLearningApi", resource_group_name="myResourceGroup", service_name=apim_service.name, path="ml-api", protocols=["https"], display_name="Machine Learning API", description="Handles requests to our ML model.") # Let's assume you want to configure a rate limit policy to prevent abuse of the API # Rate limits are defined in the API's policies policy = azure_native.apimanagement.Policy("myPolicy", resource_group_name="myResourceGroup", service_name=apim_service.name, policy_id="myPolicyId", value="""<policies> <inbound> <rate-limit calls="10" renewal-period="60" /> <quota-by-key calls="100" bandwidth="500kb" renewal-period="3600" counter-key="@(context.Subscription.Id)" /> </inbound> <backend> <forward-request /> </backend> <outbound> <base /> </outbound> </policies>""", format="xml") # Policies are defined in XML format in APIM # Defining a product to group APIs product = azure_native.apimanagement.Product("myProduct", resource_group_name="myResourceGroup", service_name=apim_service.name, display_name="Premium ML APIs", description="A product that bundles our premium ML APIs", approval_required=False, subscriptions_limit=1, terms="Terms and conditions go here...") # Adding ML API to the product api_to_product = azure_native.apimanagement.ProductApi("myProductApi", resource_group_name="myResourceGroup", service_name=apim_service.name, api_id=ml_api.name, product_id=product.product_id) # Export the APIM service URL to access the APIs pulumi.export("apim_service_url", apim_service.gateway_url)

    This program sets up a basic Azure API Management instance with a specific SKU, creates an API endpoint that corresponds to your Machine Learning API, applies a policy to enforce rate limits on your API usage, defines a product to group APIs, and adds your Machine Learning API to that product. Lastly, it exports the URL at which the APIM gateway can be accessed.

    This is a starting point and more configurations might be needed based on your specific requirements. For instance, if you require user authentication via OIDC, you would set up an OpenId Connect Provider. For monitoring and analytics integration, you would work with the Azure Monitor and Azure Insights components. Each of these would be additional resources defined in your Pulumi code.

    Remember, each API, policy, product, and other components have properties and specifics that you need to configure according to your use case. The Pulumi documentation can guide you through all the resources and their properties.

    Detailed API management configuration depends on how fine-grained you want the control over your API to be. You can add more policies, configure more backends, declare additional operations and responses, and so on, all using Azure's resources through Pulumi code.
