API Gateway:Create an HTTP API

Scenarios

Cloud-native API Gateway provides two methods to create APIs: within an instance and outside an instance. These methods apply to the following scenarios:

Create APIs within an instance

• Dedicated resource management: The API is required only within a specific instance to manage specific resources or internal logic.

• Security and isolation: Data or features need to be strictly isolated to ensure security and can be called only within the instance.

• Simplified service configuration: Simplifies API configuration and management within a specific instance.

Create APIs outside an instance

• Cross-instance sharing and access: Multiple instances share API definition information.

• Centralized management and monitoring: Unified access control, logging, and traffic management.
