Adapt the examples to enable and use identities in Azure Container Instances to access other Azure services. These examples are interactive. However, in practice your container images would run code to access Azure services.

## Why use a managed identity?
2527

2628
Use a managed identity in a running container to authenticate to any [service that supports Azure AD authentication](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/services-support-managed-identities.md#azure-services-that-support-azure-ad-authentication) without managing credentials in your container code. For services that don't support AD authentication, you can store secrets in an Azure key vault and use the managed identity to access the key vault to retrieve credentials. For more information about using a managed identity, see [What is managed identities for Azure resources?](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md)

### Enable a managed identity
3331

3432
When you create a container group, enable one or more managed identities by setting a [ContainerGroupIdentity](/rest/api/container-instances/containergroups/createorupdate#containergroupidentity) property. You can also enable or update managed identities after a container group is running - either action causes the container group to restart. To set the identities on a new or existing container group, use the Azure CLI, a Resource Manager template, a YAML file, or another Azure tool.

To use a managed identity, the identity must be granted access to one or more Azure service resources (such as a web app, a key vault, or a storage account) in the subscription. Using a managed identity in a running container is similar to using an identity in an Azure VM. See the VM guidance for using a [token](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/how-to-use-vm-token.md), [Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/how-to-use-vm-sign-in.md), or the [Azure SDKs](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/how-to-use-vm-sdk.md).
