In this video, we will be seeing about the differences between Managed Identity and Service Principal in Azure, making it perfect for anyone preparing for an Azure Data Engineer Interview. We simplify these concepts using easy-to-understand scenarios, helping you grasp the core ideas effortlessly.

We walk you through practical demonstrations in the Azure portal, showcasing how Managed Identity streamlines resource access within Azure Data Factory, contrasting with the role of Service Principal when integrating external services like Azure DevOps with Azure Databricks.

Using Azure Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), we guide you through the creation and utilization of Service Principals, showing how they enable secure authentication for external tools such as CI/CD pipelines.

The video concludes with a discussion on the pros and cons of Managed Identity versus Service Principal, emphasizing Managed Identity's security and simplicity compared to Service Principal's flexibility, albeit with added complexity.

We also tackle the important question of "When to use what?"—advising viewers to prioritize Managed Identity whenever possible, as recommended by Microsoft.

Whether you're preparing for an interview or seeking to improve your Azure authentication knowledge, this video provides a clear understanding of Managed Identity and Service Principal in Azure deployments.

An Azure Managed Identity is a special type of service principle. When enabled, it is directly tied to the resource. The service principle of the managed identity can be used in the same auth flow, except instead of client secrets or certificates they are automatically created, including the credentials, so no one knows them.

Great explanation with example!! Thank you so much for choosing this question and making it clear.

[bhushanthoke]

You explained very smoothly❤, others actually makes it complicated

Hi,
Thank you for this wonderful video.

I have faced the below question during an interview, please try to cover it.
1. There is a big table around 1TB lying in an On-Prem database.
What kind of optimization you can do to bring it in Azure Data Lake?

2. You have created an Self Hosted Integration Runtime, using the SHIR can you access an Azure SQL Database?

Even after using Service Principle we cannot use it directly. We will also need to generate Bearer Token using the help of client secret, client id, tenant id.

This Bearer token will actually authenticate external services to interact with Azure resources.


Can you please create one more video where we generate
1. PAT token in Databricks for SPN
2. Bearer token for Azure Rest APIs for automation.

[sK]

It's a crystal clear explanation 🎉

[sasikumar.p]

Looks great, please post more interview questions

[mohansharma]

well explained. I want to listen you more.

[Twilight]

Thank you please post more on Databricks and pyspark
