Support and Retirement Information for the Azure SDK for .NET and APIs

Important

Beginning with Visual Studio 2017, Azure SDK for .NET has been deprecated in favor of the Azure development workload in Visual Studio. The Azure development workload includes the functionality of the Azure SDK for .NET. For current documentation, see Azure for .NET and .NET Core developers.

This topic contains the following information:

  • Azure SDK for .NET Support Policy and Retirement Information

  • REST APIs and Client Libraries Support Policy and Retirement Information

  • More Information

Azure SDK for .NET Support Policy and Retirement Information

The Azure SDK for .NET is the core building block that helps developers author Cloud Services using Azure Service Runtime Programming model, debug using emulators on the local machine, and deploy to Azure data centers in the cloud. As new versions of the SDK are released, support for side-by-side Cloud Service debugging or specific version of operating systems, Microsoft Visual Studio, and .NET Framework may change. Older versions of the SDK will also be retired from time to time.

Azure SDK for .NET Support Policy

Azure Cloud Services will support no fewer than the latest two SDK versions for deploying new Cloud Services. Microsoft will provide notification 12 months before retiring a SDK in order to smooth the transition to a supported version.

The Azure SDK Policy covers Azure SDK Authoring Tools, Command line utilities, Compute & Storage Emulators, and Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio.

Azure SDK dependencies such as the .NET Framework, Operation Systems, and Visual Studio follow their own retirement policies. Supporting a particular version of Azure SDK does not guarantee all its dependencies are fully supported. For more information, please refer to Microsoft Support Lifecycle.

Azure SDK Release Dates, Retirement Dates, and Support Information

The following table lists the release dates, retirement dates, and support information for specific versions of the Azure SDK for .NET.

REST APIs and Client Libraries Support Policy and Retirement Information

The Azure REST APIs offer programmatic access to Azure services. The REST APIs can be accessed from within a service running in Azure, or directly over the internet from any application that can send an HTTP/HTTPS request and receive an HTTP/HTTPS response.

The Client Libraries provide the required API’s to write client applications. Most of the Azure services offer client libraries for .NET, Java, Node.js, and a few other languages as well. All of these libraries are wrappers around the service REST APIs. As new versions of the REST APIs and Client Libraries are released, older versions may be retired.

REST APIs and Client Libraries Support Policy

Microsoft will provide notification at least 12 months in advance before retiring a REST API or client library, in order to smooth the transition to a newer/supported version.

REST APIs Retirement Dates

We strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest version as early as possible. For details on determining which service version your applications use or upgrading the client libraries that your applications use, please refer to this Microsoft Azure Storage Team Blog post. It’s recommended that you begin application upgrades now in order to avoid being impacted when the earlier service versions are removed.
