What is the difference between the Azure Identity and MSAL libraries for Python?

EDIT: Correct links

Dumb question, but would be great if someone could shed some light for me.

As far as I understand, MSAL (https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-python) and Azure Identity (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/identity/azure-identity) let me do very similar things. In addition, both look to be officially supported by Microsoft so seems weird to have two very similar "official" libraries.

Can someone help me understand what the difference is?
