# azure-mgmt-hybridcompute — Microsoft Azure Hybridcompute Management Client Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 582.4K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is the official Microsoft Azure SDK for managing hybrid compute infrastructure in Python. It provides a client library to interact with Azure's hybrid compute service, which manages machines, extensions, licenses, and gateways across on-premises and cloud environments. The package wraps Azure REST APIs into Python objects and methods, handling authentication via Microsoft Entra and supporting operations like machine creation, deletion, extension management, and license provisioning.

Version 10.0.0 introduces significant new capabilities: operation groups for gateways, machine run commands, extension metadata, and settings management, plus new models for hardware profiles, firmware, and storage. It also includes breaking changes that restructure several model properties into nested property objects, requiring code migration if you upgrade from earlier versions. The package depends on isodate, azure-mgmt-core, and typing-extensions, and requires Python 3.10 or later.

Use it for:

- Provision and manage hybrid machines (on-premises or edge) registered with Azure Arc.
- Deploy and configure extensions on hybrid machines for monitoring, patching, or security.
- Manage software assurance and licensing profiles for hybrid compute resources.
- Set up gateways and run commands on hybrid machines for remote administration.
- Query and update machine properties, network profiles, and OS details at scale.

## Worth the install?

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

Manages hybrid compute resources in Microsoft Azure—machines, extensions, licenses, and gateways—through a Python SDK client.

Yes, if you need to programmatically manage Azure hybrid compute resources from Python. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is part of the official Azure SDK. However, version 10.0.0 includes breaking changes to model structures—review the migration guide before upgrading existing code. Requires Python 3.10+ and Azure credentials configured.

## Install

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

## Installing azure-mgmt-hybridcompute

Before you install: Low friction install with three lightweight runtime dependencies. Actively maintained as of 2026-08-14 with recent feature additions in version 10.0.0. Supports current Python versions (3.10+).

License in practice: MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; suitable for most projects.

Quickstart:

pip install azure-mgmt-hybridcompute

from azure.mgmt.hybridcompute import HybridComputeManagementClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
import os

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

Requires Python 3.10+; Azure subscription and environment variables (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID) must be configured for authentication.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the new hybrid models (dual dictionary/model nature) in 10.0.0 require migration effort for existing code.
- Performance characteristics and rate limits for large-scale machine or extension operations.
- Whether gateway and machine-run-command features are production-ready or still experimental.
- Whether azure-identity is a required runtime dependency or only recommended for authentication.
