New Releases

A new set of management libraries for Go that follow the Azure SDK Design Guidelines for Go are now available. These new libraries provide a number of core capabilities that are shared amongst all Azure SDKs, including the intuitive Azure Identity library, an HTTP Pipeline with custom policies, error-handling, distributed tracing, and much more. Those new libraries can be identified by locating them under the /sdk directory in the repo, and you can find the corresponding references here.

To get started, please follow the quickstart guide here. To see the benefits of migrating to the new libraries, please visit this migration guide that shows how to transition from older versions of libraries.

You can find the most up to date list of all of the new packages on this page as well as our official releases page

Previous Versions

Previous Go SDK packages are located under /services folder, and you can see the full list on this page. They might not have the same feature set as the new releases but they do offer wider coverage of services.

Getting Started

For instructions and documentation on how to use our Azure SDK for Go, we have provided quick-start tutorials for both new and previous releases.

• Quickstart tutorial for new releases. Documentation is also available at each readme file of the individual module (Example: Readme for Compute Module)
• Quickstart tutorial for previous versions
