Managed Identities are really cool as they eliminate the need for remembering or storing credentials - keys & secrets.❌ They make authentication & authorization seamless between any two resources that support Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). The authorization side is enforced by the target resource based on the roles that you assign to the managed identity. For instance, If you are working with an Azure Logic App that needs to read from a Blob storage. You don't need to use the storage account access keys to authenticate. You can easily: ✅ Create a managed identity for the Azure Logic App ✅ Assign roles/permissions that are required to perform action on the Blob storage. ✅ Specify the managed identity as the authentication method in your Logic App. Microsoft handles the rest. Same process applies for Azure Functions, you just need to use its managed identity in the code. The Azure.Identity package provides everything required to implement this. There are lots of scenarios where this should be adopted right away in order to meet certain security requirements. This blog post explains everything you need to know about setting it up including a lab session. https://lnkd.in/d7nVFxM3 #Azure #Authentication #LogicApps #AzureFunctions
