In the following document we will discuss about AZURE AD DS, the following points will be covered: Why AZURE AD DS?  Comparison between AD DS, AZURE AD, AZURE AD DS.  Azure AD DS and self-managed AD DS.  Use Cases.  AZURE AD DS Implementation Steps.  References.   Why AZURE AD DS?  If your application is hosted partly on-premises and partly in Azure, it may be more efficient to replicate Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in Azure. This can reduce the latency caused by sending authentication requests from the cloud back to AD DS running on-premises.  This architecture is commonly used when the on-premises network and the Azure virtual network are connected by a VPN or ExpressRoute connection. This architecture also supports bidirectional replication, meaning changes can be made either on-premises or in the cloud, and both sources will be kept consistent. Typical uses for this architecture include hybrid applications in which functionality is
