azure-mgmt-containerregistry

What it is and what it does

This is the official Microsoft Azure SDK client library for managing Azure Container Registry resources via Python. It provides a ContainerRegistryManagementClient that wraps the Azure management API, allowing you to programmatically create, configure, and delete container registries, manage webhooks, tokens, scope maps, and other registry objects. The package depends on isodate, azure-mgmt-core (the common Azure SDK infrastructure), and typing-extensions for runtime support.

Version 15.0.0 is a major release with significant breaking changes: it restructures model properties into nested `properties` objects, moves some APIs to a separate package, and introduces hybrid models that behave as both dictionaries and objects. Authentication typically relies on Azure Active Directory via environment variables (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID).

Use it for:

• Automate container registry provisioning and configuration in CI/CD pipelines or infrastructure-as-code workflows
• Programmatically manage registry access via tokens, scope maps, and role assignments
• Set up webhooks to trigger external systems when images are pushed or deleted from a registry
• Bulk update registry policies, network rules, or encryption settings across multiple registries
• Query and monitor registry metadata, connected registries, and credential sets in a Python application

Worth the install?

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

Manages Azure Container Registry resources—create, update, delete, and configure registries, webhooks, tokens, and related objects through the Azure management API.

Yes, if you need to manage Azure Container Registry resources from Python. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and is the official Microsoft SDK for this purpose. Be aware that version 15.0.0 introduces breaking changes—review the migration guide if upgrading from earlier versions. Requires Python 3.9+ and Azure subscription credentials.

Install

azure-mgmt-containerregistry on PyPI

pip install azure-mgmt-containerregistry

uv add azure-mgmt-containerregistry

poetry add azure-mgmt-containerregistry

Installing azure-mgmt-containerregistry

Before you install

Low install friction; pure Python wheel with minimal runtime dependencies (isodate, azure-mgmt-core, typing-extensions). Actively maintained as of 2026-08-14 with recent release 2026-03-19.

Quickstart

pip install azure-mgmt-containerregistry

from azure.mgmt.containerregistry import ContainerRegistryManagementClient
import os

sub_id = os.getenv("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID")
client = ContainerRegistryManagementClient(
    credential=credential,
    subscription_id=sub_id
)

Requires Python 3.9+, Azure subscription, and environment variables AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID for authentication.

Verify before relying

• Whether the breaking changes in version 15.0.0 (model restructuring, API migration to azure-mgmt-containerregistrytasks) affect your existing codebase
• Whether additional authentication packages beyond the runtime dependencies are required for typical usage
