Azure Management Libraries for Java

This README is based on the released stable version (1.31.1). If you are looking for other releases, see More Information.

The Azure Management Libraries for Java is a higher-level, object-oriented API for managing Azure resources, that is optimized for ease of use, succinctness and consistency.

If you are looking for Java client libraries for consuming (rather than managing) individual Azure services (e.g. storage blob upload, JDBC, messaging, etc), please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/java/azure/java-sdk-azure-install.

Use single library

For instance, if you only need azure-mgmt-appservice library from 1.31.1, and wish to limit the dependencies, using following dependency instead in POM.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-mgmt-appservice</artifactId>
    <version>1.31.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-client-authentication</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.0</version>
</dependency>

Create an authenticated client similarly as Azure.authenticate, with credentials and subscription id - see how to create authentication info.

ApplicationTokenCredentials credentials = ...
AppServiceManager appServiceClient = AppServiceManager.authenticate(credentials, SUBSCRIPTION_ID);

Then, create a Web App instance using this appServiceClient.

WebApp webApp = appServiceClient.webApps()
    .define(appName)
    .withRegion(Region.US_WEST)
    .withNewResourceGroup(rgName)
    .withNewWindowsPlan(PricingTier.STANDARD_S1)
    .create();

Prerequisites

• A Java Developer Kit (JDK), v 1.7 or later
• Maven
• Azure Service Principal - see how to create authentication info.

Upgrading from older versions

If you are migrating your code from 1.31.0 to 1.31.1, you can use these release notes for preparing your code for 1.31.1 from 1.31.0.

In general, Azure Libraries for Java 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 annotated with @Beta 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 @Beta 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.
