adnan_hashmi · x · 2026-08-28
This post explains how to enable secretless access to Azure Cosmos DB for CI/CD pipelines. While the application may already use Managed Identity and RBAC, build pipelines often require long-lived Client Secrets or Connection Strings for seeding test data, which undermines security. The article demonstrates using Workload Identity or Federated Credentials to allow the pipeline to authenticate directly, removing secrets from CI settings and ensuring end-to-end security.
