One of the most important design concepts of the new Azure SDK for Python is that the SDK is modular. This allows us to provide highly customizable HTTP pipelines that users can configure to their own needs. In this article, I will briefly describe the main HTTP pipeline for the Azure SDK for Python, then focus on the HTTP transport and the ab

Welcome to the July release of the Azure SDK. We have updated the following libraries: These are ready to use in your production applications. You can find details of all released libraries on our releases page. New preview releases: We believe these are ready for you to use and experiment with, but not yet ready for production. B...

We’re excited to announce that a new set of Azure management libraries for Java, .NET and Python are now in Public Preview. These libraries follow the Azure SDK guidelines and share a number of core features such as authentication protocols, HTTP retries, logging, and transport protocols.

It is common practice to reuse software libraries to speed up development. However, it introduces a problem of dependency management in your project. I will break down some of our solutions for dependency management in Java. You will learn how to use Maven and Gradle for this task, and how to troubleshoot dependency conflicts along the way. What a...

This month, we introduce the Azure SDK for Embedded C, with a preview edition of the Storage client library. In addition, we've updated the client libraries for Cosmos DB, Event Hubs, Storage, and Text Analytics. We've also published new previews for Azure Identity, Cognitive Search, Form Recognizer, and Service Bus.

A common feature in cloud APIs is paging for list results. Result sets may be massive - you could have thousands of blobs in a container, for example. Getting all results at once can cause delays in transmission and excessive load on the backend. We'll show you how the Azure SDK handles this issue.

Data entry is boring. We all hate it, but one team in Azure Cognitive Service decided we needed a better way that can take away the need to manually enter data.

This month, we have updated Event Hubs and Storage, and introduced new previews for Form Recognizer, Cognitive Search, and Service Bus. We also go in depth with Azure Identity and the new mechanisms we are developing to improve authentication when developing services.

Visual Studio Code has an extension for running Jupyter Notebooks, which is a great tool for those of us interested in data analytics as it simplifies our workflows. In this article, I will show how to consume Azure data in a Jupyter Notebook using the Azure SDK. The problem I will be demonstrating builds a predictive model to anticipate service sc...

The ability to cancel long-running tasks is important to help keep applications responsive. Whether the network connection is slow or disconnects, or the user just wants to cancel a long task, using a [`CancellationToken`][CancellationToken] in .NET makes it easy to cancel those long tasks.
