What is a gateway in Azure APIM?-CodePudding

I have a gateway assigned to my API called "Managed".

What is a gateway and how does it affect this API?

Does it have anything to do with the Gateways page in APIM? There is no "Managed" gateway listed:

What is a gateway and how does it affect this API?

The API gateway is the endpoint that:

-   Accepts API calls and routes them to your backends.
-   Verifies API keys, JWT tokens, certificates, and other credentials.
-   Enforces usage quotas and rate limits.
-   Transforms your API on the fly without code modifications.
-   Caches backend responses where set up.
-   Logs call metadata for analytics purposes.

Does it have anything to do with the Gateways page in APIM? There is no "Managed" gateway listed:

The Gateways Page in APIM is to create Self-hosted gateways which enable you to efficiently and securely manage APIs hosted on-premises and across clouds from a single API Management service in Azure.

For more information, you can refer this Azure API Management documentation.
