What it is and what it does
This is the Microsoft Azure SDK client library for managing private DNS zones within Azure. It provides programmatic control over private DNS resources—zones, record sets, and virtual network links—through the Azure Resource Manager API. The package wraps REST endpoints and exposes them as Python classes and methods, allowing you to create, update, delete, and query private DNS infrastructure as code.
The library depends on isodate for date handling, azure-mgmt-core for common Azure SDK patterns, and typing-extensions for type hints. It requires Python 3.10 or later and authentication via environment variables (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID). Version 2.0.0 introduces breaking changes around model structure and method signatures, moving resource properties into nested objects and replacing positional parameters with keyword-only arguments.
Use it for
- Provision and configure private DNS zones for Azure virtual networks in infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Automate DNS record creation and updates (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT) for internal services.
- Link virtual networks to private DNS zones and manage registration and resolution policies programmatically.
- Query existing private DNS resources and their metadata (system_data, provisioning state) for auditing or monitoring.
- Integrate private DNS management into Azure deployment pipelines or multi-tenant provisioning systems.
