Description: Azure Active Directory Domain Services (AAD DS) is a Microsoft Azure service that provides managed domain services such as domain join and group policies without the need to deploy and manage on-premises domain controllers. AAD DS allows organizations to leverage Active Directory capabilities in the cloud, facilitating user and device authentication and authorization in hybrid environments. This service is particularly useful for companies looking to migrate applications and services to the cloud while maintaining Active Directory functionality. AAD DS seamlessly integrates with Azure Active Directory, enabling administrators to manage identities and access centrally. Key features include the ability to create and manage users and groups, apply security and access policies, and provide support for applications requiring Active Directory authentication. Additionally, AAD DS is scalable and adapts to the changing needs of organizations, allowing secure and efficient access to resources in both cloud and on-premises environments.
