# azure-mgmt-appconfiguration — Microsoft Azure App Configuration Management Client Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 5.5M/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is the Microsoft Azure SDK client library for managing App Configuration resources on Azure. It provides Python bindings to the Azure control plane (management API), allowing you to programmatically create, update, delete, and query configuration stores, key-value pairs, replicas, and snapshots. The package is built on azure-mgmt-core and uses standard Azure authentication patterns with support for token-based credential flows.

Version 5.0.0 targets the latest Azure API version only, reducing package size and complexity. It requires Python 3.9+ and is actively maintained by Microsoft. The package integrates with standard Azure SDK patterns: LRO (long-running operation) polling via begin_* methods, structured exception handling, and type annotations for IDE support.

Use it for:

- Provision and manage App Configuration stores as part of infrastructure-as-code or deployment automation workflows.
- Programmatically create, update, or delete key-value pairs in Azure App Configuration stores from Python applications.
- Manage configuration store replicas and snapshots for disaster recovery or multi-region deployments.
- Integrate App Configuration resource management into CI/CD pipelines or DevOps tools written in Python.
- Query and monitor App Configuration store properties, soft-delete recovery, and purge protection settings.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Manages Azure App Configuration resources (stores, key-values, replicas, snapshots) via the Azure control plane using Python.

Yes. This is a production-stable, actively maintained Microsoft SDK with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Install it if you need to manage Azure App Configuration resources from Python—it is the official, supported way to do so.

## Install

pip install azure-mgmt-appconfiguration
uv add azure-mgmt-appconfiguration
poetry add azure-mgmt-appconfiguration

## Installing azure-mgmt-appconfiguration

Before you install: Low friction: pure Python wheel with only four runtime dependencies (isodate, typing-extensions, azure-common, azure-mgmt-core). Actively maintained—last commit 2026-08-14, no known vulnerabilities.

License in practice: MIT License (permissive): you may use, modify, and distribute this package freely in commercial and private projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install azure-mgmt-appconfiguration

from azure.mgmt.appconfiguration import AppConfigurationManagementClient
from azure.common import credentials

client = AppConfigurationManagementClient(credential=credential, subscription_id=sub_id)

Requires Python 3.9+. Authentication requires proper configuration of Azure credentials, typically via environment variables or credential objects from azure-common.

Verify before relying:

- Complete list of operations and method signatures available in version 5.0.0 beyond the breaking change to KeyValuesOperations.create_or_update.
- Whether async support (aio namespace) is available in this version.
- Specific authentication patterns and credential types supported beyond what azure-common provides.
