public final class AzureNamedKeyCredential

The AzureNamedKeyCredential is used to authenticate and authorize requests made to Azure services. It is specifically designed for scenarios where you need to authenticate using a key with a name identifier associated with it.

A key is a unique identifier or token that is associated with a specific user or application. It serves as a simple form of authentication to ensure that only authorized clients can access the protected resources or APIs. This authentication is commonly used for accessing certain services, such as Azure Tables and Azure Event Hubs. Each service may have its own specific way of using API keys, but the general concept remains the same.

The AzureNamedKeyCredential can be created for keys which have a name identifier associated with them.
