azure-mgmt-extendedlocation

What it is and what it does

This is Microsoft's official Python client library for the Azure Extended Location Management service. It provides a programmatic interface to create, read, update, and delete custom locations and resource sync rules within Azure, abstracting the underlying REST API calls. The package is part of the broader Azure SDK for Python and follows Microsoft's standard authentication patterns using Azure Active Directory.

The library is designed for developers building infrastructure-as-code solutions, automation scripts, or applications that need to manage Azure's extended location resources. It depends on azure-mgmt-core for common management functionality and uses isodate and typing-extensions for date handling and type hints. Version 2.0.0 targets only the latest Azure API version, reducing package size but requiring pinning to earlier versions if your application needs older API versions.

Use it for:

• Automate provisioning and management of custom locations in Azure for hybrid cloud deployments.
• Build infrastructure-as-code scripts that create and configure resource sync rules across Azure environments.
• Integrate Azure Extended Location management into larger orchestration or DevOps automation platforms.
• Programmatically query and monitor custom location configurations as part of cloud resource auditing.
• Develop multi-tenant applications that dynamically manage extended locations for different customers.

Worth the install?

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

Provides a Python client library for managing Azure Extended Location resources, enabling programmatic control of custom locations and resource sync rules in Azure.

Yes. This package is actively maintained by Microsoft, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions (3.8+), carries a permissive MIT license, and has low install friction. Install it if you need to manage Azure Extended Location resources programmatically; avoid it only if your application requires older Azure API versions, in which case pin to a pre-2.0.0 release.

Install

azure-mgmt-extendedlocation on PyPI

pip install azure-mgmt-extendedlocation

uv add azure-mgmt-extendedlocation

poetry add azure-mgmt-extendedlocation

Installing azure-mgmt-extendedlocation

Before you install

Low install friction with four lightweight runtime dependencies. The package is actively maintained by Microsoft with recent releases; last commit was 2026-08-14 and the repository shows active development status.

License in practice

MIT License permits free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for both open-source and commercial projects.

Quickstart

pip install azure-mgmt-extendedlocation

from azure.mgmt.extendedlocation import CustomLocations
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

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

Requires Python 3.8+. Azure authentication credentials must be configured via environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, and AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID.

Verify before relying

• Whether version 2.0.0's removal of non-latest API versions affects existing applications targeting older Azure API versions.
• Specific Azure Extended Location features and operations supported in the current release beyond CustomLocationsOperations and ResourceSyncRulesOperations.
