Now Sdks for Python, Ruby & PHP are Generally Available with Azure
Microsoft has announced a new update about Azure Storage yesterday. Now Python, Ruby & PHP are available in general.
This GA release brings forward a few significant changes:
· Microsoft have splited the Storage SDKs into four packages, one each for Blob, Table, Queue, and File. As announced, this was done in order to reduce the footprint of the libraries and allow developers to consume only the packages they are interested in.
· Support is now available for newer Azure Storage REST API versions and service features. See below for details on each SDK.
Azure Storage SDK for Python Example:
from azure.storage.blob import BlockBlobService
import os
# Create a blob service client
block_blob_service = BlockBlobService(os.environ.get('AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME'), os.environ.get('AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY'))
# upload a blob from text
block_blob_service.create_blob_from_text(
'mycontainer',
'myblockblob',
'Hello World!'
)
# download a blob into a buffer
blob = block_blob_service.get_blob_to_bytes('mycontainer', 'myblockblob')
print blob.content
Azure Storage SDK for PHP Example
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Blob\BlobRestProxy;
// Create queue REST proxy.
$blobClient = BlobRestProxy::createBlobService(getenv('AZURE_STORAGE_CONN_STRING'));
// Uploading a blob from text
$blobClient->createBlockBlob(
'mycontainer',
'myblockblob',
'Hello world'
);
// Downloading a blob
$getBlobResult = $blobClient->getBlob('mycontainer', 'myblockblob');
echo stream_get_contents($getBlobResult->getContentStream());

Azure Storage SDK for Ruby Example
require 'azure/storage/blob'
blob_client = Azure::Storage::Blob::BlobService.create(storage_account_name: 'your account name', storage_access_key: 'your access key')
// Uploading a blob from text
blob_client.create_block_blob('mycontainer', 'myblockblob', 'Hello World!')
// Downloading a blob
blob, content = client.get_blob('mycontainer', 'myblockblob')
puts content
