🔐 Secure Python Azure Function Using Azure Key Vault and Managed Identity
In this enhanced article, we take the foundation of building a secure Azure Function in Python that accesses SharePoint Online via Microsoft Graph API and elevate it using Azure Key Vault with Managed Identity. We demonstrate how to securely store and retrieve secrets like client IDs and secrets using environment-independent authentication, avoiding hardcoding sensitive information. The guide includes detailed steps for deploying to Azure, RBAC-based Key Vault access.
