Azure API Management
An enterprise-grade API management service provided on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. It offers governance, security, and compliance capabilities along with support for multi-region deployment. The service has expanded to include LLM gateway functionality, enabling organizations to manage and govern access to large language model endpoints.

The AI gateway integration in Azure API Management incorporates the Azure AI Content Safety service, which can classify and inspect input and output content before requests reach the model, identifying jailbreak attempts, harmful content, and data leakage risks.
In the demo, Bob Ward did not write any protection logic in the code and intercepted prompt injection attacks and identified jailbreak behavior solely through the Azure API gateway.
Competitors of Vercel AI Gateway include AWS Bedrock, Azure API Management, and open-source solutions such as LiteLLM.
Azure API Management has comprehensive enterprise-grade governance capabilities and EU regional availability, but is essentially a general-purpose API gateway with LLM features added on.
If immediate production deployment is needed and the team has limited operations capacity, Portkey or Azure API Management are safer choices; if a strong technical team is willing to invest in customization, LiteLLM is more attractive.
Enterprises hoping to avoid excessive dependence on a single cloud vendor should carefully evaluate Azure API Management, as its vendor lock-in risk is significant.
