Contents of a Policy

A policy contains design-time components and runtime features that control the policy usage semantics.

Metadata JSON document contains the design-time components and runtime execution is covered by respective policy files.

Design-time components:

  • Descriptive Attributes: Provides generic metadata to drive the main UI

  • UI: Contains web resources to render the provider-specific UI.

  • Configuration: Contains provider-specific validation feature and a few other design-time features.

Runtime execution occurs when a request for an API that is deployed to the gateway reaches the point in the execution flow.
