 # What are managed identities for Azure resources?
 
-A common challenge for developers is the management of secrets, credentials, certificates, keys etc used to secure communication between services. Managed identities eliminate the need for developers to manage these credentials. 
+A common challenge for developers is the management of secrets, credentials, certificates, and keys used to secure communication between services. Managed identities eliminate the need for developers to manage these credentials. 
 
 While developers can securely store the secrets in [Azure Key Vault](../../key-vault/general/overview.md), services need a way to access Azure Key Vault. Managed identities provide an automatically managed identity in Azure Active Directory for applications to use when connecting to resources that support Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication. Applications can use managed identities to obtain Azure AD tokens without having to manage any credentials.
 
 The following video shows how you can use managed identities:</br>

 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](../authentication/overview-authentication.md), including your own applications.
-- Managed identities can be used without any additional cost.

-4. Use the managed identity to perform access. For this, you can use the Azure SDK with the Azure.Identity library. Some "source" resources offer connectors that know how to use Managed identities for the connections. In that case you simply use the identity as a feature of that "source" resource.
