Azure managed identity performance

Is there any experience with Azure Managed Identity performance vs let's say basic authentication. I am testing managed identity implementation in a microservices environment and observing some degradation compared to basic auth between these services.

Can you please explain the scenario a bit more? What do you mean by performance here? What are you trying to measure?

The biggest advantage of using Azure Managed Identities is that you do NOT have to manage any credentials in your code. You are free from rotating any credentials. You don't have access to the credential, so you cannot accidently leak it either.

Otherwise, Managed identities are same as any other identity in Azure AD. Read more at https://aka.ms/managedidentity

I conducted some testing and found that Managed identity performance is same or better than basic authentication.
