Microsoft Azure StandbyPool management client library for .NET

Microsoft Azure Standby Pool provides the infrastructure to host a pool standby instances (VMs or Containers).

Standby Pools for Virtual Machine Scale Sets allow you to increase scaling performance by creating a pool of pre-provisioned virtual machines from which the scale set can draw from when scaling out. Standby Pools reduce the time to scale out by performing various initialization steps such as installing applications/ software or loading large amounts of data. These initialization steps are performed on the VMs in the Standby Pool prior to being put into the scale set and before the instances begin taking traffic.

This library supports managing Microsoft Azure Compute resources.

This library follows the new Azure SDK guidelines, and provides many core capabilities:

- Support MSAL.NET, Azure.Identity is out of box for supporting MSAL.NET.
- Support [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) for distributed tracing.
- HTTP pipeline with custom policies.
- Better error-handling.
- Support uniform telemetry across all languages.
