Hi Team,

I understand that the KVMs can be created at proxy or environment or org scoped in Apigee. I would like to understand the advantages of using Proxy scoped KVM. 

Please provide your insights. Thanks in advance

I believe the following two are the most important factors to consider when determining Proxy level KVM scope.

1. Isolation: KVMs with proxy-scopes are isolated to the particular API proxy that they are connected to. By limiting access to data stored in the KVM to the context of that specific proxy, this isolation improves data privacy and security.

2. Customization: Proxy-scoped KVMs enable customization according to each API proxy's specifications. Because of this flexibility, developers can handle key-value combinations that are unique to their proxy and important to it without affecting other proxies or the environment at large.
