Cloud identity
- [Instructor] Welcome to my LinkedIn Learning course on deploying Azure Active Directory. We'll start this course by talking about cloud identity. But before that, let me quickly introduce myself. My name is Kunal D. Mehta. I'm an independent IT consultant, specializing in Microsoft Data Center and cloud technologies. I'm really excited to have you join me in taking your Azure AD knowledge to the next level. This course is going to be effective in helping you understand what day to day administrative tasks in an Azure AD environment look like immediately after you roll it out. You already know by now that Azure AD is capable of independently managing users and groups, devices, and applications in the cloud. And if you think managing them is easy, you're right. It sure is. But things change a little when the environment is hybrid because you now have, in addition to native objects, synchronized users and groups coming in from AD Connect. You also have hybrid joined devices alongside devices managed in Azure, plus on-premises applications. By on-premises applications, I mean those that are either to be moved to the cloud or are authenticated and authorized by Azure AD. So what happens in such mixed environments is that the management method changes based on the point of origin of an object. This will be our core focus through the remainder of this course, understanding the nuances in the management of on-premises objects versus cloud objects just after onboarding. In this course, we will focus only on users, groups, and devices. I wanted to include applications too, but there's so much depth to it that it deserves its own course.
