Today, we are excited to announce the public preview of Azure API Management Premium v2 tier. Superior capacity, highest entity limits, unlimited included calls, and the most comprehensive set of features set the Premium apart from other API Management tiers. Customers rely on the Premium tier for running enterprise-wide API programs at scale, with high availability, and performance.

The Premium v2 tier has a new architecture that eliminates management traffic from the customer VNet, making private networking much more secure and easier to setup.  During the creation of a Premium v2 instance, you can choose between VNet injection or VNet integration (introduced in the Standard v2 tier) options.

New and improved VNet injection

Using VNet injection in Premium v2 no longer requires any network security groups rules, route tables, or service endpoints.  Customers can secure their API workloads without impacting API Management dependencies, while Microsoft can secure the infrastructure without interfering with customer API workloads. In short, the new VNet injection implementation enables both parties to manage network security and configuration setting independently and without affecting each other.

You can now configure your APIs with complete networking flexibility: force tunnel all outbound traffic on-premises, send all outbound traffic through an NVA, or add a WAF device to monitor all inbound traffic to your API Management Premium v2—all without constraints.

Region availability

The public preview of the Premium v2 tier is available only in 6 public regions (Australia East, East US2, Germany West Central, Korea Central, Norway East and UK South) and requires creating a new service instance.
