AFAIK, this attempts to shell-out: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/blob/sdk/azidentity/v1.3.0-beta.4/sdk/azidentity/azure_cli_credential.go#L95

We still get the attempt to shell out to the CLI when key.token isn't set and we use the server from sops
https://github.com/mozilla/sops/blob/master/azkv/keysource.go#L142
By using the NewDefaultAzureCredential, we attempt all the other methods(including Workload Identity) before trying to shell out

Given that there are no CLIs in the controller container, this only confuses people. Locally if you run the tests on a dev machine, it will find az, but it will always fail in-cluster.

Am not sure what is going on in the last commit, why does the |
So we can use credentials from the environment variable if there was nothing configured in the secret. This is basically the approach we use by returning the default server (it checks the environment variables and the CLI last), but in this case, we are using the function provided by Azure which also checks for workload identity environment variables. With this change, users don't have to set a client id in the secret to use Workload Identity(this is also the same way GCP Workload Identity works) |
