About

The Azure SDK for .NET provides a comprehensive set of libraries to enable seamless integration, authentication, and management of Azure cloud services within .NET applications.

This repository is for active development of the Azure SDK for .NET. For consumers of the SDK we recommend visiting our public developer docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/azure/ or our versioned developer docs at https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk-for-net.

Primary Use Case

This SDK is primarily used by .NET developers to interact programmatically with Azure services such as storage, identity, and secrets management. It simplifies cloud resource management, authentication, and configuration scanning, enabling secure and efficient cloud application development.

Key Features

Client libraries for accessing Azure services following Azure SDK Design Guidelines
Support for authentication protocols and Azure Identity integration
HTTP retries, logging, and transport protocols built-in
Management libraries for Azure resource configuration and control
Support for both new GA and preview packages
Backward compatibility with previous stable versions
Comprehensive documentation and samples for quickstarts
Shared core features via Azure.Core library

Installation

Navigate to the specific library folder within the /sdk directory for the desired Azure service
Refer to the README.md file in the library's project folder for detailed setup instructions
Use NuGet package manager to install the corresponding Azure SDK package, e.g., Install-Package Azure.Storage.Blobs
For production, prefer stable (non-preview) versions of the packages
Consult the official developer docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/azure/ for tutorials and samples

Usage

>_ Install-Package Azure.Storage.Blobs

Installs the Azure Storage Blobs client library for .NET to interact with Azure Blob Storage.

>_ var client = new BlobServiceClient(connectionString);
