Suggested Answer:
Managed identities provide an identity for applications to use when connecting to resources that support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication. Here are some of the benefits of using managed identities: You don't need to manage credentials. Credentials aren't even accessible to you. You can use managed identities to authenticate to any resource that supports Azure AD authentication, including your own applications.

"managed identity" is the answer.

System-assigned. Some Azure resources, such as virtual machines allow you to enable a managed identity directly on the resource. When you enable a system-assigned managed identity:
- A service principal of a special type is created in Azure AD for the identity. The service principal is tied to the lifecycle of that Azure resource. When the Azure resource is deleted, Azure automatically deletes the service principal for you.
- By design, only that Azure resource can use this identity to request tokens from Azure AD.
- You authorize the managed identity to have access to one or more services.
- The name of the system-assigned service principal is always the same as the name of the Azure resource it is created for. For a deployment slot, the name of its system-assigned identity is <app-name>/slots/<slot-name>.
