Summary


Working through this chapter, you saw how you can build a rich Azure B2B solution with an identity life cycle, including on-premise application access for guests. Furthermore, you also had an excellent introduction to the possible use cases and gaps. We also provided an overview of the upcoming Identity Governance features that Microsoft is developing, and the power that they will bring to the game; for example, there is a resource assignment based on roles and associated policies.

In the next chapter, we will deploy single-tenant and multi-tenant applications to your environment, and will provide an introduction to these concepts.
