Alternatives for azure-iot-hub python package

Question

The azure-iot-hub python package hasn't had any updates in last 2 years, and depends on deprecated azure-uamqp-python that is failing to build on systems such as Mac ARM and Linux ARM on Python 3.12+.

So, is there any alternative to replace it?

Reference: https://github.com/ansible-collections/azure/pull/1512

Edited: Currently I have no problem with that. I am looking for an alternative in case of possible removing of this package from Ansible collection.

The steps below outline how to set up Azure IoT Hub and manage devices using Azure CLI commands:

• To log into your Azure account, use the Azure CLI and execute the following command:

az login

• Create IoT Hub: If you haven't created an IoT Hub yet, you can create one using the Azure CLI:

az iot hub create --name <hub_name> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --sku S1

• Refer to this documentation to create, list, update, and delete devices using Azure CLI.

Create Device:

az iot hub device-identity create --hub-name <hub_name> --device-id <device_id>

List Devices:

az iot hub device-identity list --hub-name <hub_name>

• Get Device Twin:

az iot hub device-twin show --device-id <device_id> --hub-name <hub_name>

• refer this documentation to get and update device twin properties using Azure CLI.

• Update Device Twin:

az iot hub device-twin update --device-id
                              [--add]
                              [--auth-type {key, login}]
                              [--desired]
                              [--etag]
                              [--force-string]
                              [--hub-name]
                              [--login]
                              [--remove]
                              [--resource-group]
