Static IP address in Azure API management Service

I have done some googling but couldn't get a confirmed answer for this: Does Azure API management service provides a Static IP address? If not, how do i configure it?

Reason i am asking is because my on-premise server only accepts request from whitelisted IP address and therefore we need a static ip address from request coming from Azure API management.

Well, that "static" IP address changes when you upgrade to STV2 platform. It also depends on a tier, I didn't have such an option on Premium tier, but it seems there is an option to preserve IP address (in exchange for 15 minutes of downtime during the actual migration process).

Azure api management shows a fixed ip address when you create the service.

We use this for the same scenario and we see all traffic from this ip.

Not much background info on it but this: https://www.nimbo.com/blog/azure-api-management-service-high-availability-disaster-recovery-backup-restore/ It is

Here the Faq on that https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-faq#is-the-api-management-gateway-ip-address-constant-can-i-use-it-in-firewall-rules

Yes, in all tiers of API Management, the IP address of the gateway remains static for its lifetime.
