[bradthurber]

Lots of breaking changes in Python Azure lib 2015-08-31 Version 1.0.0 cause salt-cloud azure to be completely broken.

See the BREAKING CHANGES section of the change log for the many changes (moves/renames).

@bradthurber Thanks very much for logging this issue. I thought we had an issue already open tracking this, but it appears that I can't find it at the moment. We'll certainly need to get the salt-cloud driver up to speed.

@techhat You're probably already aware of this, but if not, FYI.

Oh! I found it. It was #26863, but since that has been closed, we can track the progress of this change here. Thanks again, and if you're feeling inclined, we're always happy to accept pull requests!

Comment from @bogdanr in duplicate issue #28009:

Since the 1.0.0 azure python package some of the functions were renamed and the provider from salt can't work anymore.

The following were renamed and moved from 'azure' to 'azure.common':
WindowsAzureError -> AzureException and AzureHttpError
WindowsAzureConflictError -> AzureConflictHttpError
WindowsAzureMissingResourceError -> AzureMissingResourceHttpError

The following were renamed and moved from 'azure' to 'azure.servicemanagement':
WindowsAzureAsyncOperationError -> AzureAsyncOperationHttpError

The following were renamed and moved from 'azure' to 'azure.storage':
WindowsAzureBatchOperationError -> AzureBatchOperationError

@techhat Just an FYI about these issues as well for when you're working on this.

@bradthurber and @bogdanr - PR #28571 was just submitted to the develop branch to address this issue. Are either of you in a position to give that a try?

[techhat]

Fixed by #28481.
