Azure Management Libraries for .NET

This README is based on the released stable version (1.38.1). If you are looking for other releases, see More Information

The Azure Management Libraries for .NET is a higher-level, object-oriented API for managing Azure resources. Libraries are built on the lower-level, request-response style auto generated clients and can run side-by-side with auto generated clients.

        .FromPublicFrontend()
        .FromFrontendHttpPort(80)
        .ToBackendHttpPort(8080)
        .ToBackendIPAddress("11.1.1.1")
        .ToBackendIPAddress("11.1.1.2")
        .ToBackendIPAddress("11.1.1.3")

Logging

Logging can be enabled by providing an implementation of IServiceClientTracingInterceptor interface.

ServiceClientTracing.AddTracingInterceptor(new LoggingTracer());
ServiceClientTracing.IsEnabled = true;

IAzure azure = Azure.Configure().WithLogLevel(HttpLoggingDelegatingHandler.Level.Basic)
    .Authenticate(credFile).WithDefaultSubscription();

Upgrading from older versions

If you are migrating your code from 1.38.0 to 1.38.1, you can use these release notes for preparing your code for 1.38.1 from 1.38.0.

In general, Azure Libraries for .Net follow semantic versioning, so user code should continue working in a compatible fashion between minor versions of the same major version release train, with the following caveats:

• methods and types that inherit from IBeta interface are not considered "generally available" and their design and functionality may change arbitrarily (including removal) in any future minor release of the libraries. To help identify such IBeta breaking changes from one minor release to the next and see how to mitigate them, see the above mentioned release notes for each release.

• occasionally the naming and structure of "fluent" interface definitions (i.e. the ones whose names start with With*) may change between minor versions, as long as that change does not affect the fluent "flow" (the chaining of the methods in a definition or update chain).

• the *Inner types and their methods may occasionally change their naming and structure between minor versions in breaking ways. User code should generally avoid making a reference to those types though, unless their functionality is not yet exposed by the "fluent" API.

Help and Issues

If you encounter any bugs with these libraries, please file issues via Issues or checkout StackOverflow for Azure Management Libraries for .NET.

To enable Http message tracing in your code please check logging.
