Note: DefaultAzureCredential is intended to simplify getting started with the SDK by handling common scenarios with reasonable default behaviors. It is not recommended to use it in production. Developers who want more control or whose scenario isn't served by the default settings should use other credential types.
Thus, the documentation should be updated to show the proper usage of WorkloadIdentityCredential in addition to or instead of the DefaultAzureCredential.
