Quick Start

Auth: DefaultAzureCredential is for local development. See auth-best-practices.md for production patterns.

java

import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();

Best Practices

Use DefaultAzureCredential for local development only (CLI, PowerShell, VS Code). In production, use ManagedIdentityCredential — see auth-best-practices.md
Managed identity in production — no secrets to manage, automatic rotation
Azure CLI for local dev — run az login before running your app
Least privilege — grant only required permissions to service principals
Token caching — enabled by default, reduces auth round-trips
Environment variables — use for CI/CD, not hardcoded secrets
