What’s the difference Between Windows AD, Azure AD, and Azure AD DS?

This live stream is based on a presentation I gave at a few events in 2022. I didn’t get a chance to record them, so I decided to give it as a live stream.
Many organizations want to stop managing domain controllers, but what is the difference between Windows AD, Azure AD, and Azure AD DS, and how do we know when we can get rid of domain controllers? This live stream will begin by outlining the difference between Windows AD, Azure AD, and Azure AD Domain Services. After that, we'll review the considerations for choosing one option over the other.

Hi, just a quick question:
- I have AAD for my Microsoft 365 Business Premium with all my users/groups/password/etc...
I then implement AADDS, which get its users info & password hash from AAD.
1. Since I use my AAD username & password to login to my VM in azure, and then access my office 365 inside this VM, what do i need for SSO to work inside this VM?
2. how do I implement SSO for OneDrive/Outlook/Teams/Word/Excel using AADDS for my VM in Azure?
Please & Thanks.

You said that AADDS supported GPO but you never really stated how that works. I can only imagine it is a separate set of GPO for AADDS Users/Computers only and has no correlation between policies set on ADDS? Also you sated that AADDS doesn't support the Web-based authentication (OAUTH, SAML & Open ID) so how do you connect to the AADDS network to join a machine to the domain?

GPO's work similar to Windows ADDS, just from the administration client computer. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/manage-group-policy?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5004159
A private network confection has to be in place to join a computer to the domain. On-site requires ExpressRoute or site-to-site VPN. If the computers in Azure, VNet peering will connect subnets.
