+## Examples
+You can find more examples of using various credentials in [Azure Identity Examples Wiki page](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/wiki/Azure-Identity-Examples). 
+
+### Authenticating with `DefaultAzureCredential`
+This example demonstrates authenticating the `ResourcesClient` from the [armresources][armresources_library] module using `DefaultAzureCredential`. 
+
+```go
+// The default credential checks environment variables for configuration.
+cred, err := azidentity.NewDefaultAzureCredential(nil)
+if err != nil {
+  // handle error
+}
+
+// Azure SDK Azure Resource Management clients accept the credential as a parameter
+client := armresources.NewResourcesClient(armcore.NewDefaultConnection(cred, nil), "<subscription ID>")
+```
+
+See more how to configure the `DefaultAzureCredential` on your workstation or Azure in [Configure DefaultAzureCredential](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/wiki/Set-up-Your-Environment-for-Authentication#configure-defaultazurecredential).
+
+### Authenticating a user assigned managed identity with `DefaultAzureCredential`
+This example demonstrates authenticating the `ResourcesClient` from the [armresources][armresources_library] module using the `DefaultAzureCredential`, deployed to an Azure resource with a user assigned managed identity configured.
+
+See more about how to configure a user assigned managed identity for an Azure resource in [Enable managed identity for Azure resources](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/wiki/Set-up-Your-Environment-for-Authentication#enable-managed-identity-for-azure-resources).
+
+```go
+// The default credential will use the user assigned managed identity with the specified client ID.
+// The client_ID for the user assigned is set through an environment variable.
+cred, err := azidentity.NewDefaultAzureCredential(nil)
+if err != nil {
+  // handle error
+}
+
+// Azure SDK Azure Resource Management clients accept the credential as a parameter
+client := armresources.NewResourcesClient(armcore.NewDefaultConnection(cred, nil), "<subscription ID>")
+```
+
+## Managed Identity Support
+The [Managed identity authentication](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview) is supported via either the `DefaultAzureCredential` or the `ManagedIdentityCredential` directly for the following Azure Services:
+* [Azure Virtual Machines](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/how-to-use-vm-token)
+* [Azure App Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/app-service/overview-managed-identity?tabs=dotnet)
+* [Azure Kubernetes Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/use-managed-identity)
+* [Azure Cloud Shell](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/cloud-shell/msi-authorization)
+* [Azure Arc](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-arc/servers/managed-identity-authentication)
+* [Azure Service Fabric](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/service-fabric/concepts-managed-identity)

+### Examples
+####  Authenticating in Azure with Managed Identity
+This examples demonstrates authenticating the `ResourcesClient` from the [armresources][armresources_library] module using `ManagedIdentityCredential` in a virtual machine, app service, function app, cloud shell, or AKS environment on Azure, with system assigned, or user assigned managed identity enabled.

+See more about how to configure your Azure resource for managed identity in [Enable managed identity for Azure resources](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/wiki/Set-up-Your-Environment-for-Authentication#enable-managed-identity-for-azure-resources)
+
+```go
+// Authenticate with a User Assigned Managed Identity.
+cred, err := azidentity.NewManagedIdentityCredential("<USER ASSIGNED MANAGED IDENTITY CLIENT ID>", nil) // specify a client_ID for the user assigned identity
+if err != nil {
+  // handle error
+}
+
+// Azure SDK Azure Resource Management clients accept the credential as a parameter
+client := armresources.NewResourcesClient(armcore.NewDefaultConnection(cred, nil), "<subscription ID>")
+```
+
+```go
+// Authenticate with a System Assigned Managed Identity.
+cred, err := azidentity.NewManagedIdentityCredential("", nil) // do not specify a client_ID to use the system assigned identity
+if err != nil {
