The February update for Azure IoT Edge includes improvements to the runtime:
* Python: Azure IoT Edge modules can now be written in Python through the [client](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/azure-iothub-device-client/1.3.0.0b0) and [service](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/azure-iothub-service-client/1.3.0.0b0) SDKs.
* Edge CLI: The [Azure IoT extension](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-cli-extension/blob/master/README.md) for [Azure CLI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/iot?view=azure-cli-latest) now allows programmatic management of IoT Edge solutions in addition to the existing Azure portal experience.
* Protocol choice: Users can now configure the runtime to use AMQP or AMQP over WebSockets for communication with Azure IoT Hub.
* Bug fixes: Multiple issues have been resolved, including fixes for the "could not find file 'C:\\app\\backup.json' exception" error and the bug that caused edge devices to appear as disconnected in the Azure portal.
The [Azure IoT Edge extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsciot-vscode.azure-iot-edge) for VS Code has been updated to:
* Create, update, and delete IoT Edge devices and modules.
