Description
What content needs to be created or modified?
The How-To: Deploy an Application to Azure Container Instances page says:
A managed identity is required for ACI deployments, if you choose to utilize a user-assigned managed identity then you need to ensure it is assigned to the Contributor and Azure Container Instances Contributor roles on the subscription and resource group where the ACI containers will be deployed
None of the links included explain what a Managed Identity is or how to enable it. The text overly focused on User Assigned Managed Identity which is also not explained. Furthermore, no where does the documentation explain that the Managed Identity must be enabled on the AKS cluster virtual machine scale set.

Research direction
Start with the How-To: Deploy an Application to Azure Container Instances page linked in the issue and review its managed identity, user-assigned identity, and AKS virtual machine scale set references. Update the documentation to explain managed identities, clarify the user-assigned identity requirements, and describe where the identity must be enabled; the page should answer these questions without relying on unexplained external links.
