Use managed identity to connect to SQL server from Azure functions. We'll create a CRUD API in two languages: C# and python. The API will read and write from the database. This is a typical use case for microservice architectures and using managed identity saves a lot of configurations and is currently a recommended best practice to secure your workloads. This video also deep dives into explaining how to create data bindings in Azure functions. So this is a part 2 of the authenticate and data bindings videos and goes a lot deeper than the other videos. I'm still figuring out how best to make these videos so let me know if something doesn't make sense or work.
