It wraps the Azure Resource Manager REST API, exposing operations to create, update, delete, and query virtual machines, scale sets, disks, snapshots, galleries, and related resources. The package handles authentication via Microsoft Entra and provides strongly typed models for all Azure compute entities.\n\nYou use it when you need to automate infrastructure provisioning, manage VM lifecycle at scale, or integrate Azure compute operations into Python applications. It requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on azure-mgmt-core for common SDK plumbing, isodate for date handling, and typing-extensions for type hints. The package is actively maintained, supports current Python versions, and carries no known vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the official, actively maintained Azure compute SDK for Python. It has low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and broad platform support (Python 3.10\u20133.14). Install it if you need to manage Azure compute resources programmatically; it is the standard choice for that task."},"id":"azure-mgmt-compute","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-mgmt-compute","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-mgmt-compute.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-mgmt-compute/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-20","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-mgmt-compute","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure Compute Management Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":19953480,"position":1050,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"38.2.0"}
