How can we improve the platform?

Support native Azure authentication for the DB, e.g. service principal

Customers often want centralized permissioning for the database and LDAP is not generally supported well in the cloud. If a customer is using Azure, they want us to support Azure AD for database authentication. I believe that means using service principals

    This is really a needed feature. Authentication via identities in Azure would be a godsend.
    We are using managed identity for inter-service auth in our Azure infrastructure and would love to extend that to DB access.

    This will be a great feature to have. The feature should allow IAM permissions to be assigned for any identify in Azure AD: user, managed identity, service principal, etc. Access to the Atlas portal would be nice, but the real need is for DB access. For example, with a pod running in AKS we can assign that pod a managed identity, and then that pod could authenticate to a DB in Atlas using the managed identity defined in Azure AD.
