Using Cosmos Db with EfCore and Managed Identity

[dogabariscakmak]

Hello,
Since Cosmos: Resolve HttpClientFactory from DI if available is resolved, now using Cosmos Db provider for Ef Core with Managed Identity is technically possible.

However, the underlying flow could be complicated. Therefore it would be great if there is a tutorial/guide on how to use those.

@dogabariscakmak By "Managed Identity", do you mean ASP.NET Core Identity? If so, then that model is designed assuming relational databases, and we don't think it is a great fit for a document database.

What I meant Managed Identities for Azure resources. When using EfCore CosmosDb provider, it can be used with managed identity without connection string or secret.
