Azure/azure-sdk-for-python is for active development of the Azure SDK for Python, providing service-specific Python libraries for working with Azure resources (for example, upload a blob). It also points consumers to public developer docs, and includes guidance on using new releases (including preview packages) and stable, production-ready versions.
Project status
- Actively maintained, with an upstream push today and package updates as recently as November 4, 2026.
- Updates appear frequent, often across multiple Azure service packages in a day; this is a broad SDK repository, not a single release stream.

Recent updates
azure-mgmt-computerecommender_1.0.0b4
The release notes describe new compute placement score operations and models, plus several breaking changes to recommender models and operations. However, the supplied diff does not show changes to azure-mgmt-computerecommender: the visible SDK changes are for azure-mgmt-commvaultcontentstore, alongside Azure SDK build-tool changes, so the diff cannot validate the documented recommender changes.
BreakingFeaturesazure-mgmt-commvaultcontentstore_2.0.0
Version 2.0.0 adds update-specific CloudAccount models and the StorageClassType.COLD member, and changes the CloudAccountsOperations.begin_update parameter type. The generated client also switches its default API version to 2026-11-03, and the diff contains additional enum and SDK build-tool behavior changes that are not called out in the release notes.
BreakingFeaturesazure-monitor-opentelemetry_1.8.12
The release notes document one change: raising azure-monitor-opentelemetry's minimum exporter dependency to 1.0.0b59. The supplied code diff is substantially broader than those notes, including OpenTelemetry dependency constraint updates, new Azure AI Projects CI provisioning requirements and resources, and a new Network Security management package.
BreakingFeaturesazure-mgmt-networksecurity_1.0.0b1
Release notes announce azure-mgmt-networksecurity 1.0.0b1 as its initial version, with no further details. The supplied diff excerpt does not show the networksecurity package source; it instead shows changes to Azure Monitor and Azure AI Projects files, so the package API and any target-specific changes cannot be verified from the available excerpt.
BreakingFeaturesazure-storage-file-datalake_12.27.0b1
This beta adds support for two newer Data Lake service versions and opt-in session-based authentication for eligible file reads. It also changes custom transport compatibility and the default download request size, and fixes invalid SAS generation for paths containing backslashes.
BreakingFeaturesazure-monitor-opentelemetry-exporter_1.0.0b59
Version 1.0.0b59 adds an experimental-features flag and an opt-in 4 MB custom-property limit for GenAI input and output messages. It also fixes HTTP dependency targets when server.port is absent and preserves local-parent sampling decisions and rates with the rate-limited sampler. The provided diff excerpt does not show the exporter implementation, and instead contains substantial changes to Azure AI Projects sample CI and infrastructure.
Featuresazure-storage-queue_12.19.0b1
This beta release adds support for Azure Storage Queue service versions 2026-12-06 and 2027-03-07. No other changes are noted.
Featuresazure-storage-file-share_12.28.0b1
This beta release adds support for new Azure Files service versions, FileId-based clients and link lookup, and share creation-time metadata. It changes the default download request size from 32 MiB to 4 MiB, which can increase request counts and enable parallel downloads.
BreakingFeaturesazure-storage-blob_12.32.0b1
Release 12.32.0b1 adds session-based authentication, supports two new service versions, and changes listing responses to use Arrow by default. It also lowers the default single-request upload and download sizes and includes fixes for empty page-blob range listings and SAS generation for blob names containing backslashes. The supplied diff is mixed across several SDK packages and does not show the main azure-storage-blob implementation changes, so some release-note claims cannot be verified from the displayed code.
BreakingFeaturesazure-ai-agentserver-a2a_1.0.0b1
This initial preview adds an A2A v1.0 host for Azure AI Hosted Agents, including native request handling, Foundry request context, tracing, and optional persistent Task storage. It also adds samples and pipeline support, while addressing task-store isolation, listing, protocol selection, and tracing issues.
Featuresazure-ai-agentserver-core_2.3.1b1
Version 2.3.1b1 fixes telemetry enrichment for spans emitted by the `Azure.AI.AgentServer.A2A` instrumentation scope. Explicit Agent Card name and version attributes are now preserved, while other spans retain existing Foundry deployment identity enrichment.
azure-ai-evaluation_1.18.11
The release notes describe Decision model support across evaluators and several fixes to scoring, tool-call handling, and result aggregation. The supplied diff does not show the azure-ai-evaluation implementation: its visible changes are primarily to azure-ai-projects sample CI infrastructure, so the evaluator changes in the notes cannot be verified against this diff.
Featuresazure-mgmt-redisenterprise_4.0.0
The 4.0.0 release adds Redis Enterprise cluster and migration operation groups, new migration and maintenance models, and additional resource properties. It is a breaking release: several model fields move under a new `properties` object, the models become hybrid dictionary/model types, and several previously defined models are removed.
BreakingFeaturesazure-mgmt-netapp_18.1.0b1
Version 18.1.0b1 substantially expands the Azure NetApp Files management API with operation groups and models for Elastic resources, external resources, and peer relationships. It also adds configuration options for Entra ID, SMB, volume namespaces, and asynchronous directory deletion.
Featuresazure-mgmt-hybridcompute_10.1.0
Version 10.1.0 adds VM application management operations and models, the TPM_TRANSITION identity key store value, and the client_public_key machine update property. The generated client also moves its default API version from 2026-07-15 to 2026-09-01, a behavior change not called out in the release notes.
Featuresazure-mgmt-monitor_8.0.0b4
The 8.0.0b4 release adds Monitor tenant action group, diagnostic settings, and VM Insights operations, along with related models and properties. It documents the deletion or renaming of the `LogSettings` and `MetricSettings` models. The supplied diff is a truncated, cross-package comparison, so it also shows substantial changes unrelated to Azure Monitor and does not provide enough Monitor-specific code to verify every release-note item.
BreakingFeaturesazure-mgmt-recoveryservices_4.3.0
Version 4.3.0 upgrades the service API version to 2026-11-01. The release notes do not describe other changes or required migration steps.
azure-mgmt-recoveryservicessiterecovery_3.0.0
Version 3.0.0 adds models, enums, and properties for confidential disk encryption, disk network access, IP versioning, and recovery network configuration. It also changes the type of `A2AProtectedItemDetail.vm_managed_disks`, which may require updates to code that reads or constructs this property.
BreakingFeaturesazure-mgmt-postgresqlflexibleservers_3.0.0
PostgreSQL Flexible Servers 3.0.0 adds maintenance-event and major-version-upgrade-precheck operations, network migration support, and numerous new model properties, models, and enum values. It also makes substantial breaking model-shape changes by moving many fields under `properties`, changes two operation parameters to keyword-only, and removes several legacy list models.
BreakingFeaturesazure-appconfiguration-provider_2.5.1
Azure App Configuration Provider 2.5.1 documents seven bug fixes covering auto-failover client cleanup and discovery, thread-safe configuration refresh, refresh key handling, credential-based loading, and feature flag refresh behavior. It also raises the minimum azure-core dependency to 1.31.0. The provided diff only changes the changelog, so the implementation changes cannot be independently verified from this diff.
