Remove reliance on Azure .NET SDK #32

Closed isaacabraham closed 8 years ago

isaacabraham commented 10 years ago

The Azure .NET SDK is large (adding over 1mb to the nuget package) and contains lots of fluff that is not needed. Currently the TP only uses a relatively small proportion of the SDK so should look to hand-roll a thin wrapper around the raw REST API.

Related to #55.

I'm not sure if this is desirable any longer - the "fallback" methods on the provided types are sometimes quite useful.

FWIW I'd also agree with that view - in my own opinion we get enough value to warrant the extra baggage. The ability to fallback to the SDK types is useful. Leaning on the SDK also makes it a little easier to write new functionality
