hi! i am currently implementing managed identity in my project. And I have a function which is automated, basically every 1st day of the month, it will upload a blob file in the azure blob storage. In the local development, you need to login to azure cli by 'az login'. However, if its already in production, how to automate this? like no more Az login right. Just like in your example for Azure VM, you just run the code and its running smoothly. Which means if its on a VM, DefaultAzureCredential will detect it and there is no need to Az login?

I have already had a managed identity assigned the Azure blob account and added role as Data blob contributor.

Please I need a response. Thank you!
