DataProtection.AzureStorage 3.0 will be updated to use new Microsoft.Azure.Storage APIs

Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.AzureStorage depends on the Azure Storage libraries. Recently, these libraries have renamed their assemblies, packages, and namespaces. Starting in ASP.NET Core 3.0, we have moved our dependency to use the new Microsoft.Azure.Storage.* APIs and packages.

If you still need to use the older Azure Storage APIs with ASP.NET Core 3.0, add a direct dependency to the WindowsAzure.Storage package. This can be installed side-by-side with the new Microsoft.Azure.Storage APIs.

For questions about the Azure Storage APIs, use https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-net.
Use dotnet/aspnetcore#8472 for discussion on this issue.

Version introduced

3.0

Old behavior

The package referenced the WindowsAzure.Storage NuGet package

New behavior

The package references the Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob NuGet package

Reason for change

This allows Microsoft.AspNetCore.DataProtection.AzureStorage to migrate to the recommended Azure Storage packages.

Recommended action

Changes to your code may be necessary to use the new API. In many cases, the upgrade may be as simple as changing the using statements to use the new namespaces.
