When does this happen?

IF Using DefaultAzureCredential in production environments leads to latency issues, unintended credential probing, and potential security risks from fallback mechanisms.

How others solved it

THEN Replace DefaultAzureCredential with a specific credential class (e.g., ManagedIdentityCredential, AzureCliCredential) that matches your deployment environment to improve latency and security.

from azure.identity import ManagedIdentityCredential
credential = ManagedIdentityCredential()
