I think it would make sense, to enable the VSTS build-agents being able to use managed identities of the build agents' VMs to authenticate with the ADO queue and poll the jobs.

Using PAT (personal access token) for that is a bit cumbersome.

Is there a support (or is it planned) for the VSTS agent and ADO to utilize the managed identities used in Azure for such purpose?

Thanks for answers / observations.

Can vsts agent connect to ADO using managed identity?

For this issue , I am afraid this is currently not supported for agent.

Your agent can authenticate to Azure Pipelines using the following method:

PAT is the only scheme that works with Azure Pipelines.

This is clearly stated in the official documentation.
