Hello Team,
I followed the Microsoft Document https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-integrate-internal-vnet-appgateway#scenario and I have implemented same architecture. I have internal customers and External customers, so it is 100% suitable for my requirement. But at the same time I am planning to setup DR (Active-Active) for the same Architecture which is shown in diagram from doc. Kindly help me with this.
Thanks in advance!
I look forward hearing from you!
Regards,
KiranKumar Guntreddi.

Deploy your APIM instance with APP gateway in the primary region as per your current setup.
Deploy another APIM instance with App gateway in a secondary region. Ensure it mirrors the configuration of the primary instance.
Configure Traffic Manager to route traffic to the primary or secondary API Management instance based on the health of the instances.
Configure DNS to point to the Traffic Manager endpoint.
Flow would be Users -> Traffic manager -> app gateway -> APIM.
Please note that this is a high-level overview and there may be additional steps required depending on your specific requirements. It is recommended to seek assistance from Azure support if needed.

2024-09-19T07:49:08.8633333+00:00 @JananiRamesh-MSFT Can you please clarify me, if I am going with Azure Traffic Manager is it suitable to handle the External and Internal Users through Application Gateway, because Traffic Manager is a global a service. I am little bit worrying about this. Kindly help me on this
As per the Microsoft document https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-howto-integrate-internal-vnet-appgateway we have an option to integrate with internal vnet in APIM by using Application Gateway.
For below architecture to setup the DR(Active-Active) - I can build the mirror infra secondary region - If I go with Azure Traffic Manager, Can we achieve to handle the external users and internal users if a region failover is happened.
