Description

Adds a design document showcasing a lightweight unified Azure management SDK approach using Python's TypedDict for declarative resource specifications with automated CRUD/paging/LRO operation mapping.

Document contents:

  • TypedDict meta-definitions: ResourceSpec, OperationSpec, PagingSpec, LROSpec, CRUDSpec, ParameterSpec
  • Example resource specs for VirtualMachine and StorageAccount
  • AutoResourceManager base class implementation with automatic operation generation
  • ResourceManagerFactory for resource registration and access
  • Practical usage examples

Key pattern:

VIRTUAL_MACHINE_SPEC: ResourceSpec = {
    "name": "VirtualMachine",
    "provider_namespace": "Microsoft.Compute",
    "resource_type": "virtualMachines",
    "api_version": "2024-07-01",
    "crud": {"get": True, "create_or_update": True, "delete": True, "list": True},
    "paging": {"item_name": "value", "next_link_name": "nextLink"},
    "lro": {"polling_method": "azure-async-operation", "polling_interval": 30},
}

N/A - documentation only, no executable code changes.

Original prompt

Create a Gist for the lightweight unified Azure management SDK design, featuring TypedDict meta-definitions for automated CRUD/paging/LRO operation mapping. See the provided markdown content for architectural explanation, TypedDict definitions, example resource specifications, automated resource manager code, benefits, and a practical usage example. The file should be named azure-mgmt-unified-design.md and showcase the TypedDict-driven approach for easy maintenance and extensibility of Azure resource managers in Python.
