adnan_hashmi · x · 2026-08-28
This post explains how to enable secretless access to Azure Cosmos DB for CI/CD pipelines.

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.
