azure-cli-acr

What it is and what it does

This is a command module for the Azure CLI that extends the `az` command-line tool with container registry operations. It is not a standalone library but rather a plugin that integrates with the azure-cli-core framework to provide subcommands under `az acr`. Once installed, it enables developers and operators to build container images, manage repositories, create and run tasks, handle webhooks, and perform registry operations directly from the command line.

The module depends on azure-cli-core for command framework integration, azure-mgmt-containerregistry for API calls to the Azure Resource Manager, azure-storage-blob for blob operations, and azure-mgmt-storage for storage account management. It is designed for users already working with the Azure CLI who need container registry capabilities, not for Python developers seeking a programmatic SDK.

Use it for:

• Build and push container images to Azure Container Registry using `az acr build` from the command line.
• Manage container repositories, tags, and manifests with `az acr repository` commands.
• Create and manage automated build tasks with `az acr task` for CI/CD workflows.
• Authenticate to a registry and perform login operations with `az acr login`.
• Import container images from external registries into Azure Container Registry.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides the Azure CLI 'acr' command module for managing Azure Container Registry resources, including building, pushing, and managing container images and tasks.

Yes, if you use the Azure CLI and need container registry management capabilities. The module has low install friction and is actively maintained at the repository level. However, verify that your Azure CLI version is compatible and that this module has not been superseded by newer tooling, given the last release was 2019-06-18.

Install

azure-cli-acr on PyPI

pip install azure-cli-acr

uv add azure-cli-acr

poetry add azure-cli-acr

Installing azure-cli-acr

Before you install

Low install friction with a pure Python wheel distribution. Maintenance status is active with recent commits, though the latest release was 2019-06-18, indicating the package may not receive frequent updates despite ongoing repository activity.

License in practice

MIT license is permissive, allowing use in both open-source and commercial projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart

pip install azure-cli-acr

from azure.cli.command_modules.acr import operations
# Then use via Azure CLI: az acr build, az acr push, az acr task, etc.

Requires Azure CLI core and authentication to an Azure subscription; intended as a CLI module, not a standalone Python library for direct import.

Verify before relying

• Whether this module is still actively maintained or superseded by newer Azure CLI versions
• Current Python version support beyond the classifiers (2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 are listed but may be outdated)
