As API
estates grow, managing individual custom domains and certificates for every
subdomain can quickly become operationally complex and difficult to
scale. Without wildcard support, every new subdomain — whether
payments.api.contoso.com, inventory.api.contoso.com, or orders.api.contoso.com
— requires its own hostname registration and certificate, meaning a team
onboarding ten new API surfaces generates ten separate domain and certificate
management tasks.
With
this update, Azure API Management Premium v2 and Standard v2 now support
wildcard entries in custom hostnames, allowing a single
entry like *.api.contoso.com and a single wildcard
certificate to cover all subdomains automatically — no per-subdomain
configuration required. This helps teams:
- Simplify certificate and domain
management at scale
- Reduce operational overhead for
rapidly growing API environments
- Maintain consistent branded API
endpoints across dynamic subdomains
- Accelerate onboarding of new API
surfaces without repeated hostname configuration
By
extending this capability to both Premium v2 and Standard v2, Azure API
Management makes flexible and scalable domain management accessible to more
organizations without requiring higher-tier deployments.
