The Windows® Azure™ SDK includes a managed code library and a native code library.

The managed library includes the following namespaces:

• Microsoft.WindowsAzure: Classes in this namespace enable you to manage credentials for Windows Azure storage accounts.
  
  
• Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime: Classes in this namespace enable you to interact with the Windows Azure environment from code running within your role.
  
  
• Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics: Classes in this namespace enable you to collect logs and diagnostic information from code running within your role.
  
  
• Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.Management: Classes in this namespace enable you to collect logs and diagnostic information remotely.
  
  
• Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient: Classes in this namespace provide a client library for working with the Windows Azure storage services.
  
  
• Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.Protocol: Classes in this namespace provide a wrapper for the REST protocol for the Windows Azure storage services.
  
  

The Windows Azure Service Runtime Native Library provides a native API for interacting with the role management agent and with the local storage resource in the Windows Azure environment or in the development fabric.
