It seems that this page contains all the functionality that Azure CLI supports in regard to Azure API Management. But it doesn't show how to manage entities such as users, products, certificates, subscriptions, and APIs using Azure CLI.
Does Azure CLI lack these functionalities or is there a way to manage those entities using Azure CLI? Can Azure CLI be considered as a replacement for ARM templates in the case of APIM?
Azure CLI is missing those. Please raise on aka.ms/apimwish
According to my research, the Azure CLI API management command is in preview. SO it will miss some commands. For more details, please refer to the document. So if you want to manage Azure API management entities such as users, products, certificates, subscriptions, and APIs, I suggest you use Azure PowerShell to do that : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.apimanagement/?view=azps-3.0.0.
The Azure CLI currently seems to support this, see here for Microsoft docs. Make sure you upgrade your CLI to the latest version to be able to leverage this.
To get the CLI docs:
az apim --help

I am new to Azure API Manager, I have used Apigee Edge before where you can store each api proxy code in either git or SVN. But in Azure I am not sure how each API that is exposed via the gateway is stored. I can see there is a repository for the whole API Manager instance. Does that mean all the APIs are bundled to the same Gateway Instance and stored there?
I am planning to build a CI/CD pipeline to create the APIs in the API Manager for that I need to understand how the APIs code will be stored.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
Besides the GIT repository for the apimanagement instance, you can fetch it in form of ARM templates. Refer this blog.

I need to monitor the Oracle Cloud Compute VM using REST API's or Java SDK. So for REST API monitoring do we need to do any set up in VM?
No, you don't need any set up inside the VM, but you do need the API users to be authorized in a IAM policy.
For example with a policy like this (for just reading the metrics):
Allow group <api_users> to read metrics in tenancy
Then you can use the APIs here.
Is it possible to add license to the user using Azure CLI?
I am also trying to find whether Azure CLI can be used as a replacement for AzureAD powershell module?
We are new to VSTS and will be using the online service and integrating with our production Azure AD tenant. Since we do development that involves Office 365, this meant that we have both production and development Office 365/Azure AD environments. We understand that our authentication can only be tied to one of these (which is fine) but can we use VSTS to perform tasks against both environments (e.g. staging, deploy, etc.)? Are there certain things that do/don't work we should consider or are there other suggestions on how we would leverage VSTS across these environments as we take code tested against development to production? Thanks!
One option to do this would be using powershell and service principal authentication. No point in copy\pasting documentation so I'll leave a link.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-authenticate-service-principal
You can also just authenticate to the API, get oAuth token and do pretty much anything with that. Not super straight forward, but can be done ;)
You can add multiple azure service endpoints, then deploy app through release, simple steps:
Refer to this blog: Automating Azure Resource Group deployment using a Service Principal in Visual Studio Online to manual configure Azure service endpoint (Manual Configuration section)
Create a Release Definition in vsts
Add environments (e.g. Staging, Deploy)
Add Azure App Service Deployment task for each environment
Specify corresponding Azure Subscription for these tasks
Since I am making an android application that has its own mysql database in my server, how can I map the user of wirecloud with the user of my own database? The point of this is to recognize which user is consuming a widget deployed on the wirecloud.
I suppose that Wirecloud uses mongo db?
The best way for mapping the users of WireCloud with the ones of you own database is the use of a single authentication source.
WireCloud is based on Django so you can use any of the method supported by it for customising the authentication. This include the use of third-party modules (e.g. django-auth-ldap for authenticating using a LDAP server) and the use of the integration with the FIWARE IdM provided by WireCloud.
It's technically possible to make WireCloud use your database directly, but I don't recommend you to do that because will be a pain to maintain such integration. In my opinion, the best options are migrating your app for using the FIWARE IdM or creating a custom authentication backend for authenticating users using your database.
