FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an AI gateway for Azure OpenAI?

To set up an AI gateway for Azure OpenAI, configure Azure API Management as a central gateway by adding your Azure OpenAI or AI Foundry backends to enforce governance policies.

What policies can I enforce for AI model governance?

AI model governance policies include semantic caching, token limits, content safety enforcement, jailbreak detection, load balancing, and AI cost control for exposed models.

How does an AI gateway protect MCP tools and agents?

An AI gateway protects MCP tools and agents by implementing rate limiting and security measures through API Management policies to control access and mitigate abuse.

Can I use Azure API Management to control LLM token costs?

Yes, Azure API Management controls LLM token costs by applying token limit policies and semantic caching within the AI gateway to manage and optimize resource consumption.

How do I test AI gateway configurations for Azure OpenAI?

You can test AI gateway configurations directly after adding Azure OpenAI backends, validating that your LLM policies, content safety rules, and load balancing behave as expected.

Do I need Azure API Management to secure multiple AI applications?

Azure API Management serves as a single gateway to securely expose Azure OpenAI models to multiple applications, ensuring consistent access policies, content safety, and cost control.
