What it is and what it does

azure-mgmt was a bundle package for Microsoft Azure Resource Management client libraries, but it has been deprecated as of version 5.0.0 (released 2020-04-08). The package now contains no functional code and exists only to redirect users to install service-specific packages instead. The Azure SDK for Python has been reorganized so that each Azure service has its own dedicated package prefixed with azure-mgmt-.

Installing this package will not provide any Azure management functionality. The repository remains active and maintained, but this particular package is marked as inactive (Development Status 7) and should not be used in new code. Users encountering this package should consult the deprecation notice and the complete list of available packages at https://aka.ms/azsdk/python/all to identify which service-specific packages they actually need.

Use it for:

Understanding why an old project depended on azure-mgmt and identifying which service-specific packages to migrate to.
Checking the deprecation notice and migration guidance for legacy Azure SDK code.
Verifying that a dependency on azure-mgmt should be replaced with individual service packages.

Worth the install?
