To achieve this, the importance of defining an API management strategy and implementation roadmap so that capabilities are implemented in the right order and timeframes is described.\nIt starts by describing all of the fundamental concepts around API Management and related disciplines such as SOA Governance and DevOps in order to dispel the confusion surrounding these topics.\nThe book then takes you on the journey of implementing API Management, using a realistic case study of an organization that needs an API Management solution. You will start by identifying the key business drivers to implement APIs and then create an API Management strategy and a roadmap to realize this strategy.\nYouâll then go through a number of use cases, each focused on addressing specific business requirements. These will help you understand each of the Oracle API Management products, how they fit into an overall architecture, and how to implement them.\nThe book concludes by providing some tips and guidelines around defining a deployment topology for the Oracle API Management products and the steps to install them.\u003ch4\u003eWhat you will learn\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnderstand how to manage a set of APIs\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDiscover the differences and similarities between API Management and SOA Governance, and where and how these two disciplines converge into Application Services Governance (ASG)\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGrasp information about ASG and how to define an ASG governance framework\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the challenges for organizations looking to expose APIs to the external world.
