Azure Identity library for Rust

Microsoft Entra ID authentication for Azure SDK clients.

Use this skill when:

• An app needs to authenticate to Azure services from Rust
• You need DeveloperToolsCredential for local development
• You need ManagedIdentityCredential for Azure-hosted workloads
• You need service principal auth with secret or certificate

IMPORTANT: Only use official azure_* crates published by the azure-sdk crates.io user. Do NOT use the deprecated azure_sdk_* crates (MindFlavor/AzureSDKForRust) or community crates. Official crates use underscores in names and none have version 0.21.0.

Note: The Rust SDK does not have DefaultAzureCredential. Use DeveloperToolsCredential for local development and ManagedIdentityCredential for production.
