Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Chapter 3. Deploying and Synchronizing Azure Active Directory

As the quantity of cloud services increases, identity management and security, as well as access policies within cloud environments and cloud services, are becoming even more essential.

The Microsoft central instance for identity management for all Microsoft cloud services is Azure Active Directory (AD). Every subscription, contract, security policy, or identity Microsoft provides for their cloud services is based on Azure AD, which is also called Microsoft Tenant.

In this chapter, you will learn the basics of Azure AD, and how you implement Azure AD and hybrid Azure AD when connecting to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

We are going to explore the following topics:

  • Azure AD overview
  • Azure AD subscription options
  • Azure AD deployment
  • Azure AD user and subscription management
  • How to deploy Azure AD hybrid identities with AD DS
  • Azure AD hybrid high availability and non-high availability deployments
