Several packages within the Azure SDK for C++ use the OpenSSL library. By default, the Azure SDK will use whatever the most recent version of OpenSSL is within the VCPKG repository.

### Using a specific version of OpenSSL

If you need to use a specific version of OpenSSL, you can use the vcpkg custom ports feature to specify the version of OpenSSL to use.
