Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10+.
- Azure authentication credentials (AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID) must be set as environment variables.
- Low friction install with a pure-Python wheel.

What it is and what it does
This is the official Microsoft Azure management library for Red Hat OpenShift, part of the broader Azure SDK for Python. It exposes the Azure Resource Manager API for provisioning, updating, and managing OpenShift clusters on Azure infrastructure. The package provides typed Python models and client methods to interact with cluster configurations, worker profiles, networking, identity, and platform workload identity settings.
The library depends on azure-mgmt-core for common Azure SDK patterns, isodate for date handling, and typing-extensions for runtime type hints. It requires Python 3.10 or later and uses Microsoft Entra token-based authentication. Version 4.0.0 introduced breaking changes that restructured model properties into nested `properties` objects, following a hybrid model pattern documented in the Azure SDK migration guide.
Use it for
- Automate provisioning and teardown of OpenShift clusters on Azure as part of infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Manage cluster configurations, network profiles, and worker node pools programmatically from Python applications.
- Integrate OpenShift cluster lifecycle operations into CI/CD pipelines or cloud orchestration platforms.
- Query and monitor OpenShift cluster status, provisioning state, and platform workload identity settings.
- Build internal tools or dashboards that need to read or modify Red Hat OpenShift deployments across Azure subscriptions.
