This GitHub issue details the issue many customers are experiencing attempting to mount Azure Blob Storage to AKS Pods, using Managed Identity (MS Entra Workload Id) and the Azure Storage FUSE driver (Blobfuse2): https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/3432#issuecomment-2377117830
Existing documentation is confusing for customers and does not mention the current issues as limitations nor when they will be resolved. For example mounting is NOT supported using Managed Identity, instead the underlying implementation requires elevated Azure Blob Storage privileges (Contributor Role), which many highly regulated customers see as increasing the security risk posture.

Hi @Sumarigo-MSFT - thank you for your efforts. Unfortunately the comment in the GitHub issue is not really an answer. We really need a timeline for when below will be supported and relevant mslearn documentation updated:
"Azure file csi driver does not support workload identity or managed identity, and azure file team are still working on that feature."
Are you able to clarify the timeline for above with the azure file team?
