- **Deploy Azure Local with Local Identity (Preview)** - Starting this release, you can deploy Azure Local using Local identity with Azure Key Vault. By integrating with Key Vault and using certificate-based authentication, security posture is enhanced and operations continuity is ensured. This approach offers minimal edge infrastructure, a secure secret store, and simplified management by consolidating secrets in a single vault. Additionally, it streamlines deployment by reducing dependencies on Active Directory systems and simplifying firewall configurations.
