The Parity Ethereum client is not an enterprise targeted implementation, which, when used in scenarios that require limiting access to the node, will need to be placed “behind” a product that acts as a gateway that executes logic to determine whether a connection should be forwarded to the node or not.

Such a product, especially when running on Azure, can be API Management. It allows us to define policies which, for example, lets us:

A repository with a complete Azure Resource Manager template for deploying the complete example, with both a Parity Ethereum node and Azure API Management resource, can be found here:

This time we will be creating an Azure Resource Manager template that will deploy:

It is recommended that we create a dedicated resource group for our example which we will use to execute the ARM template we will be writing in the following steps.

We will start by defining the $schema, contentVersio, empty parameters and variables sections and the beginning of the resources section:
