There are multiple ways for authenticating.
- Authenticating to Azure using the Azure CLI
- Authenticating to Azure using Managed Service Identity
- Authenticating to Azure using a Service Principal and a Client Certificate
- Authenticating to Azure using a Service Principal and a Client Secret
- Authenticating to Azure using a Service Principal and Open ID Connect
Official Terraform documentation recommends authenticating via Azure CLI when using locally and They recommend using either a Service Principal or Managed Service Identity when running Terraform non-interactively (such as when running Terraform in a CI server)
