Definitely a no, you need a direct connection.

Surprised they suggest an on-premises gateway for a cloud API.

The on-premises gateway sounds like a lot of work. Can't we just use a Python script and the requests library? That would be much easier.

Wait, we're supposed to install a gateway? I thought this was supposed to be a simple API connection. This is getting way too complicated.

The solution is a bit overkill. Why not just use the Azure API Management service? That would be a more straightforward way to connect to the external API without additional infrastructure.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Isn't the on-premises gateway part of the Azure platform? Seems like a grey area to me.

No, the solution doesn't meet the goal. The requirement states that the automation must execute without reliance on additional infrastructure, and the on-premises gateway would be considered additional infrastructure.

Yes, the solution meets the goal. The on-premises gateway allows the automation to connect to the external API without relying on additional infrastructure.

I vaguely recall that using a gateway is more about securing local data, so I’m leaning towards saying this solution doesn't meet the goal.

I feel like the gateway might complicate things since the API is already accessible externally. Maybe we just need the custom connector?

I remember a practice question where we had to create a custom connector for an API, but I don't think we needed a gateway for a public API like this one.

I think the on-premises gateway is for connecting to local resources, not for public APIs, so I'm not sure this solution meets the goal.

The solution looks good to me. Creating a custom connector and enabling it for the on-premises gateway should let us interact with the API without needing anything else.

I'm a bit confused about the "without reliance on additional infrastructure" part. Does that mean we can't use any other Azure services or tools besides the gateway?

Custom connectors are great, but not with a gateway here.

I'm not sure about this one. The "without reliance on additional infrastructure" part has me worried. Might be worth exploring some other options that don't require an on-premises component.

Okay, so we need to connect to an external API hosted on Azure. The solution mentions a custom connector and gateway, which sounds promising for meeting the requirements.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'd want to double-check that the on-premises gateway can handle the Basic authentication requirement without additional infrastructure.
