1. I am just running this and inspecting the value of cred

var cred = new DefaultAzureCredential();

    // Summary:
    //     Provides a default Azure.Core.TokenCredential authentication flow for applications
    //     that will be deployed to Azure. The following credential types if enabled will
    //     be tried, in order:
    //     • Azure.Identity.EnvironmentCredential
    //     • Azure.Identity.ManagedIdentityCredential
    //     • Azure.Identity.SharedTokenCacheCredential
    //     • Azure.Identity.VisualStudioCredential
