In this chapter, we took another step towards learning about Microsoft Azure infrastructure services. To allow user accounts in on-premises AD access to Azure, you learned how to set( )up directory synchronization. You now understand how to handle VHD files and know the restrictions on moving licenses to the cloud.

Also, you learned about monitoring Microsoft Azure services such as storage and virtual machines, and their billing and cost management.

You also learned how to configure Azure. In Chapter 8, Migrating to Microsoft Azure, you will learn about the available options, including the tools used for this move.
