Microsoft Azure Client Runtime (msrestazure)

msrestazure provides Azure-specific functionality for the AutoRest-generated Python client runtime (`msrest`). It extends `msrest` with features like Azure Long-Running Operations (LRO) polling, Azure-specific authentication credentials, and error handling for Azure services. It is a foundational component for older versions of the Azure SDK for Python, with the current version being 0.6.4.post1. Its release cadence has been infrequent since 2020.
