This repository is for active development of the Azure SDK for .NET. For consumers of the SDK we recommend visiting our public developer docs or our versioned developer docs.

To get started with a library, see the README.md file located in the library's project folder. You can find these library folders grouped by service in the /sdk directory.

For tutorials, samples, quick starts, and other documentation, go to Azure for .NET Developers.

New wave of packages that we are announcing as GA and several that are currently releasing in preview. These libraries follow the Azure SDK Design Guidelines for .NET and share a number of core features such as HTTP retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc., so that once you learn how to use these features in one client library, you will know how to use them in other client libraries. You can learn about these shared features at Azure.Core.

These new client libraries can be identified by the naming used for their folder, package, and namespace. Each will start with Azure, followed by the service category, and then the name of the service. For example Azure.Storage.Blobs.

For a complete list of available packages, please see the latest available packages page.

NOTE: If you need to ensure your code is ready for production we strongly recommend using one of the stable, non-preview libraries.

Last stable versions of packages that are production-ready. These libraries provide similar functionalities to the preview packages, as they allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload a storage blob. Stable library directories typically contain 'Microsoft.Azure' in their names, e.g. 'Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault'. They might not implement the guidelines or have the same feature set as the Novemeber releases. They do however offer wider coverage of services.

Libraries which enable you to provision specific server resources. They are directly mirroring Azure service's REST endpoints. Management library directories typically contain the word 'Management' in their names, e.g. 'Microsoft.Azure.Management.Storage'.
