Description

Azure Red Hat OpenShift now supports managed identities and workload identities as a generally available capability, enabling you to run OpenShift clusters and applications on Azure without long lived service principal credentials. This aligns Azure Red Hat OpenShift with the short-lived token and least privilege identity patterns used across Azure, while keeping OpenShift integrated with existing Azure identity, access, and governance models.
