[MS] Azure SDK Release (May 2026) - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Thank you for your interest in the new Azure SDKs! We release new features, improvements, and bug fixes every month. Subscribe to our Azure SDK Blog RSS Feed to get notified when a new release is available. You can find links to packages, code, and docs on our Azure SDK Releases page.

Release highlights

The Azure SDK for Rust reaches general availability

The Azure SDK for Rust is now stable. This month's GA delivers production-ready 1.0.0 crates for Core, Identity, Key Vault (Secrets, Keys, and Certificates), and Storage (Blobs and Queues), built on the same design patterns you already know from the .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, and C++ SDKs. For the full story, see From beta to stable: Announcing the Azure SDK for Rust.

Azure AI Search adds agentic retrieval with knowledge bases

The .NET Azure AI Search library (12.0.0) and Python azure-search-documents (12.0.0) introduce knowledge bases and a new KnowledgeBaseRetrievalClient for agentic retrieval. You can now define knowledge sources backed by Azure Blob storage, a search index, OneLake, or the web, then run retrieval requests against a knowledge base, all on the new 2026-04-01 service version. The JavaScript @azure/search-documents (13.0.0) release adds a debug property to inspect non-semantic search queries and an oversampling option for vector search.

New Azure AI Agent Server libraries enter preview

A new family of preview libraries for hosting agents arrived this month, led by .NET Azure.AI.AgentServer.Core (1.0.0-beta.23) and Python azure-ai-agentserver-core (2.0.0b3). .NET also ships companion Invocations and Responses packages, while Python ships a companion Responses package this month. They provide an AgentServerHost hosting model with built-in health probes, graceful shutdown, request-ID middleware, and a centralized PlatformHeaders set of HTTP header constants shared across the packages. As preview releases, these libraries are still changing quickly; the latest .NET beta, for example, consolidated six separate setup calls into a single AddAgentServerCore() / UseAgentServerCore() pair.

Azure Batch client library reaches general availability for .NET

The .NET Azure.Compute.Batch (1.0.0) library is now generally available. The GA release includes breaking changes carried over from beta, including the removal of AuthenticationTokenSettings and BatchAccessScope and a number of property renames (such as BatchJobScheduleConfiguration.DoNotRunUntil to DoNotRunBefore). Cross-language Batch modernization continued as well with JavaScript @azure/batch (13.0.0) and Python azure-batch (15.1.0), which ship their own type and option renames.

[MS] Pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index, remarks - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

In my earlier discussion of pulling a single item from a C++ parameter pack by its index , I noted that with the Pack Indexing proposal, you would be able to write this to pull an item from a parameter pack while preserving its reference category. template<int index, typename...Args> void example(Args&&... args) { auto&& arg = (Args...[index]&&)args...[index]; using Arg = Args...[index]&&; } Why did I need to apply the (Args...[index]&&) cast ? Why can't I just write this: auto&& arg = args...[index]; or possibly decltype(auto) arg = args...[index]; Well, when you write the name of a variable, the result is an lvalue reference, even if the variable is an rvalue reference . Watch: struct S { S(S&); // construct from lvalue S(S&&); // construct from rvalue }; void whathappens(S&& s) { S t = s; // which will it use? } Try it out in your favorite compiler. This code construc...

[MS] Boosting Azure DevOps Security with GHAS Code Scanning - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Debjyoti Ganguly shares insights on the security benefits and configuration of GHAS Code Scanning with Azure DevOps. Boosting Azure DevOps Security with GHAS Code Scanning Code scanning, a pipeline-based tool available in GitHub Advanced Security, is designed to detect code vulnerabilities and bugs within the source code of ADO (Azure DevOps) repositories. Utilizing CodeQL as a static analysis tool, it performs query analysis and variant analysis. When vulnerabilities are found, it generates security alerts. CodeQL CodeQL is a powerful static analysis tool used for showing vulnerabilities and bugs in source code. It enables developers to write custom queries that analyze codebases, searching for specific patterns and potential security issues. By converting code into a database format, CodeQL allows for sophisticated, database-like queries to detect flaws. CodeQL in Action 1. Preparing the Code Create a CodeQL Database : Extract and structure the code into a database for analy...

[MS] Going beyond the empty set: Embracing the power of other empty things - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

The empty set contains nothing. This sounds really silly, but it's actually really nice. The Windows Runtime has a policy that if a method returns a collection (such as an IVector ), and the method produces no results, then it should return an empty collection, rather than a null reference . That way, consumers can just iterate over the collection without having to deal with a null test. For example, suppose you have a method Widget:: Get­Associated­Doodads which returns an IVectorView<Doodad> representing the Doodad objects that have been associated with a Widget object. If no Doodad s have been associated with the Widget , then it should return an empty vector, not a null pointer. That allows developers to write the natural-looking code: // C# foreach (var doodad in widget.GetAssociatedDoodads()) { ⟦ process each doodad ⟧ } // C++/WinRT for (auto&& doodad : widget.GetAssociatedDoodads()) { ⟦ process each doodad ⟧ } // JavaScript widget.GetAssociated...
