Release History

4.0.0b1 (2019-06-28)

Version 4.0.0b1 is the first preview of our efforts to create a user-friendly and Pythonic client library for Azure Key Vault. For more information about preview releases of other Azure SDK libraries, please visit https://aka.ms/azure-sdk-preview1-python.

This library is not a direct replacement for azure-keyvault. Applications using that library would require code changes to use azure-keyvault-keys. This package's documentation and samples demonstrate the new API.

Major changes from azure-keyvault

  • Packages scoped by functionality
    • azure-keyvault-keys contains a client for key operations, azure-keyvault-secrets contains a client for secret operations
  • Client instances are scoped to vaults (an instance interacts with one vault only)
  • Asynchronous API supported on Python 3.5.3+
    • the azure.keyvault.keys.aio namespace contains an async equivalent of the synchronous client in azure.keyvault.keys
  • Authentication using azure-identity credentials

azure-keyvault features not implemented in this release

  • Certificate management APIs
  • Cryptographic operations, e.g. sign, un/wrap, verify, en- and decrypt
  • National cloud support. This release supports public global cloud vaults, e.g. https://{vault-name}.vault.azure.net
