0.6.0

🎉 Highlights

This release is a major step forward for floci-az: four new services (Virtual Machines, API Management, Cache for Redis, Container Registry), substantially expanded Storage and Functions capabilities, and a meaningful AppConfig data-plane parity pass. Real-Docker backing now powers ACR and Redis by default.

🖥️ New: Azure Virtual Machines

Floci-az now emulates Azure Virtual Machines (#47), enabling local testing of compute provisioning workflows alongside the existing Functions runtime.

🌐 New: Azure API Management

Initial API Management (APIM) service emulator (#48), covering core gateway and management surface. Useful for local validation of APIM-fronted architectures without a real Azure subscription.

🔴 New: Azure Cache for Redis

Azure Cache for Redis is now supported, backed by a real Valkey sidecar (#50). Real backing engine, not a mock, so cache semantics behave correctly under test.

📦 New: Azure Container Registry

Azure Container Registry is now supported, backed by a shared registry:2 container (#51). Push and pull workflows against the emulated ACR behave like real OCI registries.

⚙️ Storage and Functions expansion

• Storage: advanced message and queue metadata features (#35), closing gaps that affected real-world queue workloads
• Functions: runtime versions can be specified via linuxFxVersion (#43), matching the configuration shape real Azure Functions deployments use

🔧 AppConfig 2024-09-01 parity

A coordinated pass closes the 2024-09-01 data-plane SDK parity gaps (#49), so SDK-driven AppConfig workloads using the current API version round-trip correctly.
