+# Azure SQL with Managed Identity - Spring Boot Demo
+
+This project demonstrates how to connect to Azure SQL Database using Azure Managed Identity in a Spring Boot application.
+
+## Features
+
+- Spring Boot application with Azure SQL Database connectivity
+- Azure Managed Identity authentication (no passwords required)
+- REST API endpoints for testing database connectivity
+- Proper Spring Cloud Azure integration
+
+## Configuration
+
+The application is configured to use Azure Managed Identity for authentication with Azure SQL Database.
+
+### Required Environment Variables
+
+- `AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME`: Your Azure SQL Server name (without .database.windows.net)
+- `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`: The client ID of your User-Assigned Managed Identity
+
+### Application Properties
+
+The `application.properties` file contains:
+
+```properties
+# Azure SQL Database Configuration with Managed Identity
+spring.datasource.url=jdbc:sqlserver://${AZ_DATABASE_SERVER_NAME}.database.windows.net:1433;database=demo;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=false;hostNameInCertificate=*.database.windows.net;loginTimeout=30;authentication=ActiveDirectoryMSI
+
+# Enable Azure managed identity for Spring Cloud Azure
+spring.cloud.azure.credential.managed-identity-enabled=true
+spring.cloud.azure.credential.client-id=${AZURE_CLIENT_ID}
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Key dependencies used in this project:
+
+- `spring-boot-starter-web`: Web layer and REST controllers
+- `spring-boot-starter-jdbc`: JDBC support
+- `spring-cloud-azure-starter`: Azure integration for Spring Boot
+- `mssql-jdbc`: Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+Once running, the application exposes the following endpoints:
+
+- `GET /api/database/health`: Check if the application is running
+- `GET /api/database/test-connection`: Test database connectivity
+- `GET /api/database/version`: Get database version information  
+- `GET /api/database/test-query`: Execute a simple test query
+
+## Building and Running
+
+```bash
+# Build the project
+mvn clean compile
+
+# Run the application (requires Azure environment with configured managed identity)
+mvn spring-boot:run
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Azure SQL Database instance
+2. User-Assigned Managed Identity configured in Azure
+3. Proper access permissions granted to the managed identity on the SQL database
+4. Application running in an Azure environment that supports managed identity (e.g., Azure App Service, Azure VM, Azure Container Instances)
+
+## Azure Setup
+
+1. Create an Azure SQL Database
+2. Create a User-Assigned Managed Identity  
+3. Grant the managed identity access to the SQL database
+4. Configure the application environment variables
+5. Deploy to an Azure service that supports managed identity
+
+For more information about setting up managed identity with Azure SQL, refer to the [Azure documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview).
