Authenticate to Kusto using managed identities in Python

Question

I'm trying to improve authentication to my Kusto clusters from my functions once they're deployed into production environment. Locally, I connect thru AZ CLI authentication, but I've found out that my organization generated a user assigned managed identity for my Kusto cluster.

I have a principalId and a clientId . How do I authenticate using the managed identity?

TIA

See example for use of MI Auth in the below link. Please mind MIs only work when running in Azure in a host that this MI was attached to.
