Provision a self-hosted gateway

1. Select the Gateways from under Deployment and infrastructure.

2. Select + Add.

3. Enter the Name and Region of the gateway.

   Tip

   Region specifies the intended location of the gateway nodes that are to be associated with this gateway resource. It's semantically equivalent to a similar property associated with any Azure resource, but can be assigned an arbitrary string value.

4. Optionally, enter a Description of the gateway resource.

5. Optionally, select + under APIs to associate one or more APIs with this gateway resource.

   Important

   By default, none of the existing APIs are associated with the new gateway resource. Therefore, attempts to invoke them via the new gateway results in 404 Resource Not Found responses.

6. Select Add.

Now that the gateway resource is provisioned in your API Management instance. You can proceed to deploy the gateway.
