Azure Stream Analytics now supports managed identity for the following inputs and outputs in public preview. As a result, customers do not have to manage service-to-service credentials by themselves.
- Blob/ADLS Gen2 Stream input. In addition to output, Stream Analytics can now use managed identity to connect to Blob storage or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen 2 as stream input. More info here.
- Event Hubs input and output. Stream analytics can now connect to Event Hubs using managed identity. In combination with the use of Event Hub Trusted Services, this allows customers to process data in a VNET or when the firewall is enabled. More information here.
