070: Rollout strong auth credentials for Workload Identities

Overview

Use Azure Managed Identities and certificates for cloud workload identities. Organizations should establish a pattern where workload identities and automation credentials use one of the options below:

  • Managed identity
  • Certificate
  • Federated workload identity

Customers should avoid using the weakest option:

  • Client secret

Usage of client secrets should require an exception, since it should violate normal security requirements.
