Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for managing the deployment of application programming interfaces (APIs) within a hybrid cloud network architecture. APIs can be created for applications or services deployed to a hybrid cloud including public clouds and/or private clouds. The APIs are deployed to API gateways associated with each data center in the network. The network is conceptually divided into spaces, where each space corresponds to a set of API gateways deployed within designated geographical regions. The API gateways are mapped to the network locations for the API gateways by interacting with Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. API calls use the domain names as included in the DNS records to resolve the API call as being directed to a specific API gateway corresponding to the service for the API call.
