Description
Since it appears that Active Directory is the recommended way of controlling access to Azure Storage, it would be useful if azure-storage-python, when running on an Azure Virtual Machine, supported automatically retrieving access tokens from the Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS).
I'm willing to take a stab at implementing this functionality if it is something that would be accepted. The biggest question in my mind is - what would the API for enabling this mode look like in the constructor for, say, BaseBlobService.
