Avoid Azure secret rotation with secretless authentication

Datadog’s Azure integration now supports secretless authentication, replacing client secrets with a federated identity relationship between an Azure app registration in Microsoft Entra ID and Datadog’s OpenID Connect issuer. Rather than storing and rotating long-lived credentials, Datadog presents an OIDC token when requesting Azure telemetry, and Entra ID validates the trust relationship before issuing a short-lived access token. The approach is available for new integrations configured through the Quickstart workflow or Terraform, and existing client-secret-based integrations can migrate without creating a new app registration using the Azure CLI, Terraform, or Azure portal. By eliminating recurring secret rotation and reducing reliance on persistent credentials, the feature aims to lower operational maintenance and prevent telemetry ingestion disruptions caused by expired secrets.
