As I understand Managed Identity eliminates the need for passwords and private keys. Services traditionally use a service account to access resources but that service account uses a password that needs to be stored in a secrets manager and periodically auto-rotated. Managed Identity eliminates need of any password.

Answer 1

An Azure System Assigned and User Assigned Identity is similar to a service account assigned to a Compute Engine instance. Neither method require passwords or secrets. Both methods store the authorization tokens in the metadata service.

Compute Engine: Service accounts

Google Cloud uses the service account identity (OIDC) extensively to authorize services to communicate with each other.

Answer 2

Azure Managed Identities. Like Google Service Account, Azure system assigned managed identity is used to authenticate resources like VM, Key Vault etc. using token/private keys.
