Research direction

Create knowledge/services/web-app.md and start by reviewing the Managed Identity advisory notes and the listed source, including the API-version and deployment-output concerns. Structure the file with all eight required sections, covering Terraform azapi_resource with RBAC, Bicep patterns, and applicable Python, C#, and Node.js examples. Done means every required section is present and the stated POC and production guidance is documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Context

Advisory Notes — Stage 1: Managed Identity

  • [Stability] The identity module uses API version 2023-07-31-preview; preview APIs may introduce breaking changes or be retired — consider pinning to the GA version 2023-01-31 for production deployments.

  • [Security] Deployment outputs (client ID, principal ID) are written to a local JSON file with no access controls; in CI/CD pipelines, prefer storing these in a Key Vault or using deployment output references directly to avoid credent
