When trying to obtain a Microsoft auth token from within an Azure Container Instance using the /medata/identity endpoint, I get the following error.

ManagedIdentityCredential: Get \"http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/oauth2/token?api-version=2018-02-01&resource=https%3A%2F%2Fdatabase.windows.net\": dial tcp 169.254.169.254:80: i/o timeout"

Is there any way around this?

    Turns out it was due to the ACI lacking a managed identity. I assigned a system identity and that resolved it.
