Hi, i was searching for a way to disable the API Management instance Gateway so that no one will be able to access all the api's. Is it possible to do it through Powershell and if yes then how?

@Bhavin Ginoya Thanks for reaching out, could you please let me know which Gateway you're referring to? I believe your APIM instance is deployed in multi region, and you wanted to disable the Gateway in master region correct me if am wrong here If yes, you can disable the Gateway in master region by setting the property DisableGateway = True in the powershell command plese refer this document.

How can i disable API Management instance gateway?

@Bhavin Ginoya Thanks for the update!
Multi region deployment is supported only in premium sku, and as I mentioned earlier disabling gateway property is used to disable the Gateway only in master region.
developer sku doesn't support multi region deployment.

so is there a way to disable gateway for all the regions in premium tier?

@Bhavin Ginoya if you need you can delete the Gateways in secondary regions from the portal but disabling Gateway property is only used to Disable Gateway in master region as you will not be able to delete the master region from the portal.

Hope this clarifies your query!

Hi

I'm working on a multiregional application, I tried to disable the main gateway in the West US to use only my additional location in the EUS and followed the instructions in the link below to route traffic based on the gateway region

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-deploy-multi-region#-route-api-calls-to-regional-backend-services

But even after confirming that the DisableGateway attribute is set to true I can still see requests going to out West US region, so it seems like the West US gateway is not really disabled after all, is there anything that I could be missing here?

Best regard
