Description

Azure Load Testing now supports both system-assigned and user-assigned managed identities. This solves a common challenge when building cloud applications related to credential management.

A managed identity in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), managed by the Azure platform, allows your resource to easily access other Azure AD-protected resources, such as Azure Key Vault for the following scenarios: 

  1. Fetching secret parameters in a load test 
  2. Accessing customer-managed keys for encryption at rest
