Description

ManagedIdentitySourceNames defines both Imds and DefaultToImds but only one of these is actually used in getManagedIdentitySource

We should remove one of the two, probably Imds, from the public API

Alternatively, you could update the getManagedIdentitySources type to:

public getManagedIdentitySource(): Exclude<ManagedIdentitySourceNames, "Imds">

So developers writing code against this know which value to check against when they want to do something special for IMDS flows (like probing the IMDS endpoint) instead of always remembering to check both values (or looking into the implementation to see that only one is actually used)
