Public preview: Managed identities support in Azure Container Apps

Azure Container Apps, a service for building and deploying modern applications and microservices using serverless containers, now supports managed identities in public preview.

Managed identities provide an identity for applications to use when connecting to resources that support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication, such as Azure Key Vault and Azure SQL Database. When enabled, your container apps can connect to supported services without using secrets in connection strings. Both system- and user-assigned managed identity are supported.
