what is the replacement for Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob library

Question

As mentioned in the guidelines in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/apis/migration-api-overview. To create a MigrationJob it requires to use Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob library and it is flagged as deprecated on nuget and flagged as legacy on all microsoft documentations.

What library should be used in place of Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob

Answer 1

The Azure SDK is migrating to Azure.* as documented here. Not all functionality for the SDK has been migrated yet so you need to look at what you're using to see if you can switch to the new library.

In your case you are not relying on Azure Storage directly but rather using a library that relies on Azure storage. Therefore you cannot update that library to the new package because the namespaces are different. Therefore you'll have to continue referencing the deprecated packages (which won't break your build) until the SharePoint team updates their packages to use the newer client libraries. However if you also need to work with Azure then consider using the newer library yourself while letting the SharePoint library continue to use the older library. They shouldn't conflict.

Answer 2

You could find the Suggested Alternatives in Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob's homepage in NuGet.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob/
The Suggested Alternatives is Azure.Storage.Blobs.
