* [Update Akka.Hosting support to support `DefaultAzureCredential`](https://github.com/petabridge/Akka.Persistence.Azure/pull/237)

New Setup classes are added to allow programmatic setup of the journal table and snapshot-store blog storage; these setup classes supports `DefaultAzureCredential`. Note that to use `DefaultAzureCredential` from the `Azure.Identity` package, you need to provide both service URI and credential.

```csharp
var host = new HostBuilder()
    .ConfigureServices(collection =>
    {
        collection.AddAkka("MyActorSys", builder =>
        {
            var credentials = new DefaultAzureCredential();
            
            // Programatically setup the journal table
            builder.WithAzureTableJournal(setup => {
                setup.TableName = "myazuretable";
                setup.ServiceUri = new Uri("https://{account_name}.table.core.windows.net");
                setup.DefaultAzureCredential = credentials;
                // Optional TableClientOptions
                setup.TableClientOptions = new TableClientOptions(); 
            });
            
            // Programatically setup the snapshot-store blob container
            builder.WithAzureBlobsSnapshotStore(setup => {
                setup.ContainerName = "myAzureBlobContainer";
                setup.ServiceUri = new Uri("https://{account_name}.blob.core.windows.net");
                setup.DefaultAzureCredential = credentials;
                // Optional BlobClientOptions
                setup.BlobClientOptions = new BlobClientOptions(); 
            });
            
            builder.StartActors((system, registry) =>
            {
                var myActor = system.ActorOf(Props.Create(() => new MyPersistenceActor("ac1")), "actor1");
                registry.Register<MyPersistenceActor>(myActor);
            });
        });
    }).Build();
```

A few convenience `Akka.Hosting` extension methods are also added as a shortcut:
```csharp
var host = new HostBuilder()
    .ConfigureServices(collection =>
    {
        collection.AddAkka("MyActorSys", builder =>
        {
            var credentials = new DefaultAzureCredential();
            
            // Add the journal table
            builder.WithAzureTableJournal(
                serviceUri: new Uri("https://{account_name}.table.core.windows.net"),
                defaultAzureCredential: credentials);
            
            // Add the snapshot-store blob container
            builder.WithAzureBlobsSnapshotStore(
                serviceUri: new Uri("https://{account_name}.blob.core.windows.net"),
                defaultAzureCredential: credentials);
            
            builder.StartActors((system, registry) =>
            {
                var myActor = system.ActorOf(Props.Create(() => new MyPersistenceActor("ac1")), "actor1");
                registry.Register<MyPersistenceActor>(myActor);
            });
        });
    }).Build();
```

#### 0.9.0 July 21 2022 ####
Added [Akka.Hosting](https://github.com/akkadotnet/Akka.Hosting) support to Akka.Persistence.Azure, which you can activate via the following:

First, install the `Akka.Persistence.Azure.Hosting` NuGet package:

```shell
PS> install-package Akka.Persistence.Azure.Hosting

```

Next, add the `WithAzurePersistence` method calls to your `AkkaConfigurationBuilder` (from Akka.Hosting):

```csharp
var conn = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_CONNECTION_STR");
var host = new HostBuilder()
    .ConfigureServices(collection =>
    {
        collection.AddAkka("MyActorSys", builder =>
        {
        	// enables both journal and snapshot store
            builder.WithAzurePersistence(conn);
            builder.StartActors((system, registry) =>
            {
                var myActor = system.ActorOf(Props.Create(() => new MyPersistenceActor("ac1")), "actor1");
                registry.Register<MyPersistenceActor>(myActor);
            });
        });
    }).Build();

await host.StartAsync();
return host;
```

You can also call the following methods to activate the journal / snapshot stores independently:

* ` WithAzureTableJournal`
* `WithAzureBlobsSnapshotStore`
