Planning and Roadmap Feedback - Second Half 2021

Hello Azure SDK community!

The Azure SDK team is beginning our next planning cycle as part of Azure’s twice a year planning process. As a part of this effort, we want to hear from you about what new features and services you are most interested in having as part of the New SDK. In general, we can separate requests into two categories:

1. Feature requests for various aspects of the SDK
2. Requests to move Azure services onto the new SDK paradigm

We would love to hear your thoughts on both!

There are three ways you can contribute feedback:

1. Browse existing issues labeled feature-request in this repository. Use the thumbs up (+1) emoji to give us your indication it’s a high priority for you.
2. Reply to this issue with comments on new services and features you are looking for.
3. Upvote comments in this thread using the thumbs up (+1) emoji.

Note: Being specific with your use case and sample code. The more information you can give us, the more likely we are to take your request.

Please do not create new issues for new service requests - instead, reply inline.

We will be reviewing community feedback and incorporating it into the planning process starting May 10th 2021.

I really like the new Azure SDKs, consistent, easy to use, easy to unit test… I would really to have that with the Azure IoT SDK which currently lack these features (unit testing some parts of it is just not possible).

By the way Comos Db SDK v4 has been in preview for a long long time, it would be great to finally see this version released.

thanks.

Hi @maggiepint kudos to the team for all the support. I need a clarification. Assume I have a ton of ARM Templates and I have to deploy them. The deployment happens via REST API from our application.

Take this example on the sample project the main dependency is Microsoft.Azure.Management.Fluent

But this assembly depends on a lot of other assemblies which I won’t need or use. Is there any other way I can do something like this with any other assembly ?

azure.Deployments.Define(deploymentName).WithExistingResourceGroup(request.ResourceGroupName)
.WithTemplate(templateJson)
.WithParameters(parametersJson)
.WithMode(DeploymentMode.Incremental).BeginCreate();

This causes all these bloated assemblies to be part of our dependencies. Is there any way to avoid this ?
