Thanks for reporting this to us.

I see that @azure/ms-rest-js had a new version published about 2months ago, it depends on uuid 8.3.2 which is not deprecated yet. It'd take large efforts to switch REST API dependency. We'll try to upgrade to latest @azure/ms-rest-js first. This may also take some time, we'll update you with any progress.

Any progress on this? @EmmaZhu

Also just checking in @EmmaZhu, would be good to remove this deprecation warning. If there are any security issues found in the current dependency chain it will be problematic to upgrade in a short period.
