Question 1

What is Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)?

Accepted Answer

Azure AD is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service that enables employees to sign in and access resources in external resources (like Microsoft 365) and internal resources (like apps on your corporate network).

Question 2

What is an Azure AD Tenant?

Accepted Answer

An Azure AD Tenant is a dedicated, trusted instance of Azure AD that is automatically created when an organization signs up for a Microsoft cloud service. It represents a single organization.

Question 3

How does Azure AD differ from Windows Server Active Directory (on-premises AD)?

Azure AD is a cloud-based identity service using modern protocols like OAuth, OIDC, and SAML, while on-premises AD uses Kerberos and LDAP and is designed for managing domain-joined machines in a corporate network.

Accepted Answer

Azure AD Connect synchronizes on-premises Active Directory identities to Azure AD, enabling a hybrid identity model where users can use the same credentials for both on-premises and cloud resources.

The four tiers are Free, Microsoft 365 Apps, Premium P1, and Premium P2. Higher tiers unlock advanced features like Conditional Access (P1) and Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management (P2).
