Python authentication library for Azure SDK clients, using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Supports DefaultAzureCredential for automatic credential detection, plus specific credential types for managed identity, service principals, and CLI-based auth.
DefaultAzureCredential's ordered credential chain means one line of code works in local dev, containers, and Azure-hosted environments without any conditional logic.
When to Use It
- Authenticate to Azure Blob Storage without hardcoded credentials
- Run the same auth code locally with az login and in production with managed identity
- Authenticate a CI/CD pipeline to Azure using service principal environment variables
- Give an AKS pod access to Azure resources via workload identity
- Get short-lived access tokens for Azure Database for PostgreSQL
