Enable Managed Identity on staging VM

[KacperMucha]

Is it possible to enable managed identity on staging VM? I'd like to be able to retrieve secrets from a Key Vault in customizer script. I didn't find any information about it, so I don't know if it's not documented yet or not possible at the moment. Packer has such ability - https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/azure/arm#user_assigned_managed_identities, but I don't see anything related to this topic in Image Builder ARM template reference.

Hi @KacperMucha - thanks for raising this, currently the build VM does not have access to the managed identity, however, we have this on the backlog and have done the underlying work. It is on our backlog, I will have a better idea of timeline in November.

@danielsollondon - are there any updates regarding the topic? Potential ETA?

@danielsollondon I don't suppose there is any update on this?

Hey All, we've added support for adding a managed identity on the build VM. Please feel free to read about it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/image-builder-json#user-assigned-identity-for-the-image-builder-build-vm
