The best bit about studying Azure isn’t only the curated learn cert paths but also that John somehow manages to bring out a new view about a month or two ahead of my learning curve; the deep dive videos are the best way to get ahead quickly and then read the docs and get hands on at a slower pace.

Excellent as always John. Always looking forward to what comes next ;)

Outstanding session John! I knew a fair bit of this already, but you clarified the picture, as you always do, and filled the remaining gaps for me. This will also be invaluable training for my team! 🙂

I've literally just picked up a task to convert our apps to use Managed Identity so this video has been a godsend for explaining the ins and outs of it.

[Semtx]

incredibly valuable info, cheers!
Especially the start where you articulate the ent app / reg app / SP interaction. i still struggle with that bit.
I will rewatch your video dedicated to that subject.

[rgulamhussein]

Thank you for such a clear explanation John. Your video is worth a thousand pages of docs!

[amirjsayes]

Simply outstanding! Very clear and very informative and enjoyable to watch 💪🏼 Keep up the great work

"Simplicity is Intelligence " Jiddu Krishnamurti - thank you John for makings things in Azure simple again! :)

Excellent, watching this with a cup of tea in cold England 🥶 👍

[gwcooley]

Great overview, excellent engaging teaching style. Thank you. Onward and upward!

[yasimatech]

Many thanks John, really learnt a lot from this session on managed identities in Entra ID (aka Azure). You've really nailed it in my head 💯

[robannmateja]

Listened to this again for the second time (refresher). As usual, awesome content and presentation. Thank you!

[amirjsayes]

Amazing 48 minutes of great content! Great work John 🎉

[expat]

So John, am I right in thinking that, in your VM scenario, anybody who can log into the VM implicitly has permission to use any of the MIs assigned to the VM, meaning you need to be aware that when granting somebody access to the VM, you are also granting them permission to use the MI, and if so, is this something that should be highlighted?

[wolkwijs]

Again a gem of a video! Thanks for another great deep dive!

[robbrinkkemper]
