Management Libraries for .NET
A new set of management libraries that follow the Azure SDK Design Guidelines for .NET and based on Azure.Core libraries are now in Public Preview. These new libraries provide a number of core capabilities that are shared amongst all Azure SDKs, including the intuitive Azure Identity library, an HTTP Pipeline with custom policies, error-handling, distributed tracing, and much more. You can find the list of new packages on this page.
To get started with these new libraries, please see the quickstart guide here. These new libraries can be identifed by namespaces that start with Azure.ResourceManager, e.g. Azure.ResourceManager.Network
NOTE: If you need to ensure your code is ready for production use one of the stable, non-preview libraries.
For a complete list of management libraries which enable you to provision and manage Azure resources, please check here. They might not have the same feature set as the new releases but they do offer wider coverage of services. Previous versions of management libraries can be identified by namespaces that start with Microsoft.Azure.Management, e.g. Microsoft.Azure.Management.Network
Documentation and code samples for these libraries can be found here.
