installation - Authenticate Azure VM with Ansible to install packeages in Azure VMs

Question

I create an Ansible control node in the Azure Cloud, also created a system manged identity for this control node and assign contributor role. Now to install any pakages, I need to authenticate to target VM from Ansible Control node. Since My control node and traget VMs are in the same subscription/tenant and control node has a contributor rights to the VM, Do I still need to authenticate via SSH/username/password to for target machine to install packages etc or can I use managed identity somehow ?
