We tend to avoid including vendor SDKs in this project and instead integrate the REST APIs directly. As such this would be a larger effort.

Could we not use OAuth to authenticate via REST? This would allow the service principal to be authenticated without the vendor SDK, correct? We could not useDefaultAzureCredential() and just use the REST API instead
