What is Azure AD Domain Services?

Answer

Azure AD Domain Services provides managed domain services with a subset of fully-compatible traditional on-premises AD DS features such as
  • domain join,
  • group policy,
  • LDAP,
  • and Kerberos / NTLM authentication.
Azure AD DS integrates with Azure AD, which itself can synchronize with an on-premises AD DS environment. This ability extends central identity use cases to traditional web applications that run in Azure as part of a lift-and-shift strategy.

The Azure AD DS is a managed AD DS service in the cloud. In other words, if you want the traditional AD DS running in the cloud, you can take advantage of the Azure AD DS service by running AD DS under Azure AD. This means that you will be able to use traditional AD DS features, such as Kerberos and NTLM authentication, Group Policies (which aren’t supported in Azure AD), LDAP, etc.
