Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
Your development team is building an Azure web application that needs to read data from Azure Storage. You want the code to obtain an access token from Microsoft Entra ID without storing any credentials such as client secrets or certificates. Which Microsoft Entra ID identity type should the application use for this purpose?
A managed identity is a special type of Microsoft Entra ID identity that is created for an Azure service instance (such as a web app, function, or virtual machine). Azure automatically handles the lifecycle of this identity and manages its credentials. The application can use the managed identity to request tokens from Microsoft Entra ID and access other Azure-AD-secured resources, such as Azure Storage, without you having to store or rotate secrets in the code. Guest users and device identities represent humans or hardware, while groups are simply security principals that contain other identities; none of these allow a workload to authenticate itself without credentials.
