What it is and what it does
This is the official Microsoft Azure Storage Management client library for Python. It provides programmatic control over Azure Storage resources—storage accounts, blob containers, file shares, queues, and tables—through the Azure Resource Manager API. You use it to create, configure, and manage storage infrastructure in Azure from Python code.
The library handles authentication via Microsoft Entra using environment variables, and exposes a StorageManagementClient that groups operations by resource type. Recent versions added connectors and data-sharing capabilities, plus advanced platform metrics support. It depends on isodate, azure-mgmt-core, and typing-extensions, and requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Automate provisioning and configuration of Azure Storage accounts and containers in infrastructure-as-code workflows
- Manage blob container properties, access policies, and lifecycle rules programmatically
- Create and configure file shares, queues, and tables as part of application deployment
- Monitor and retrieve storage account properties and metrics through the management plane
- Implement multi-tenant storage management by controlling access and replication policies
