Hi @xrmx , I'm developing the tests, but I have realized that the problem is that I'm using the new Python library for Azure Tables (package azure-data-tables) but the tests are done using the deprecated library (azure-cosmosdb-tables package). The deprecation warning is in the new package documentation: azure-data-tables

Should I keep tests for both libraries in tests/instrumentation/azure_tests.py? Or should I just remove the code that refers to azure-cosmosdb-tables?

Hi @xrmx, have you had time to review the changes? I'm thinking maybe the PR should be renamed to "Support for azure-data-tables", what do you think?

Thanks for your help.
