DocLink: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/azure/sdk/aspnetcore-guidance?tabs=api

Just saw the article on best practices for using Azure SDK in ASP.NET Core - awesome article, btw.

However, I noticed it didn’t discuss the use of user-assigned identities in there, especially in the bit about using and injecting azure.identity credentials. Given that user-assigned identities are recommended by the azure architecture center for enterprise applications, it would be a good idea to have a section on how to inject a token credential based on a user-assigned managed identity (instead of the defaultazurecredential, which doesn’t handle user-assigned managed identities without further configuration).
