Connecting to Azure Resources using Managed Identity

This repo contains some short and quite simple example implementations of using a Managed Identity to connect to Azure resources.

Azure Resources currently implemented

  • Key Vault
  • Azure SQL
  • Service Bus
  • Azure Storage

For more information, have a look at my blog, where I'm currently posting a series on using Managed Identity:

This blog post shows you the basics of Managed Identities for Azure Resources, how to create them and how to give them access rights.

This blog post shows you how to connect your application to different types of Azure resources using Managed Identity.
