❔ Azure Identity client library or Microsoft Identity Platform?

I'm working on migrating our source code from an old on-prem TFS server, to an organization we have in GitHub. All of our code saved secrets in Web.Config or App.Config files. Going from on-prem to the GH, leaving secrets in plain text in those two file types, isn't going to cut it. I found a Visual Studio Toolbox video from November 16, 2021 on how to handle application secrets. The best solution given in that video, was to use Azure Service Authentication.

However, I thought that since the video was from 2 years ago, Azure Service Authentication might have been replaced. It appears that I'm correct. But I'm confused, should we use Azure Identity Client library or Microsoft Identity Platform? Or are they the same thing?
