Description

Are there any plans to support async?

Most of the newer python frameworks have moved to leverage asyncio(eg. FastAPI). Having async support would help in cases like uploading files to object storage or managing other resources by directly calling the sdk instead of having to run the sdk code in a threadpool executor.

The Azure SDK for example as optional asyncio support for those who need it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/developer/python/sdk/azure-sdk-library-usage-patterns?tabs=pip#asynchronous-libraries

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the SDK's current client and service API, then compare the linked Azure asynchronous-library pattern and FastAPI's asyncio usage. Define which SDK operations need async support and how completion would be tested across those operations.
