Description

Description:
The key manager profile (api-key-manager) is deprecated from APIM 4.0.0 onwards as we are now moving on to JWTs after deprecating the Opaque tokens. Since the gateway is capable of validating the JWT tokens even if the control-plane is down, there is no requirement to run the key manager profile separately as a scalable one.

This information is missing from [1].

Profile deprecation is missing from [2] as well.

Research direction

Start with the linked “Running the API-M Profiles” page and the “Deprecated Features and Functionalities” section in the release overview. Document that the api-key-manager profile is deprecated from APIM 4.0.0 and explain the JWT-based deployment context; done means both referenced pages contain this information.
