Description
Recently Visual Studio added support for VisualStudioCredential to support local docker testing.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/issues/19167#issuecomment-1439472328
Is there a plan to support similar feature for VSCode?
Downside of Visual Studio solution is that it requires Docker Desktop and doesn't work on WSL.
Sharing AZ CLI credentials is complicated and bloats the image size by over 1 GB - all those issues are described in the linked issue.
Ideally there's a way to pass credentials same way Visual Studio is doing?

Start by reading the linked Azure issue and comparing its VisualStudioCredential approach with the stated VSCode, WSL, Docker Desktop, and Azure CLI constraints. Define the supported local-container credential flow and verify that it avoids requiring Docker Desktop or adding the Azure CLI and its image overhead.
