I have an application that uses the Azure SDK version 1.8 and the Azure table and blob storage. Azure SDK 1.8 is scheduled to "retire" November 12, 2015.
- Will the Azure SDK retire to stop my application from working after November 12, 2015?
- What is the relationship between the Azure SDK version number and the Azure Storage Version version date?
- What is the difference between uninstalling the Azure SDK and uninstalling the Azure Storage version? (I understand that deleting a version means that it will not be used. Does retiring mean that it will no longer be supported, but will continue to work?)
- Refresh question: how does the Azure SDK relate to the Azure Storage Client? Which version of my Azure SDK v1.8 maps to which version of the azure storage client?
I THINK that the SDK will continue to work, and that the retired storage service version is too old to affect me, but I would like to be sure.

Version 2009-07-17 and prior Azure storage versions will be turned off
and will quit working.
UPDATE: I also found this handy version of the "Azure Storage Client" for the Azure protocol.

We will delay the removal date for some REST API versions and impacted
client libraries. This includes all REST endpoints starting version
2009-07-17 and earlier. The effective date for this service removal is
August 1st, 2016.
