What is hybrid identity and how does it work in Azure?
Hybrid identity is the ability to use a single identity to access both cloud and on-premises resources. In Azure, hybrid identity is achieved by using Azure Active Directory (AAD) to connect to on-premises Active Directory (AD) using Azure AD Connect. This allows users to use their on-premises AD credentials to access cloud resources, and vice versa.
Can I use Azure AD Connect to synchronize my on-premises identities with Azure AD?
Yes, Azure AD Connect is the tool used to synchronize on-premises identities with Azure AD. It allows you to replicate your on-premises AD users, groups, and other attributes to Azure AD, allowing you to use a single identity for both on-premises and cloud resources.
How does Azure AD Connect handle password hashes and authentication?
Azure AD Connect supports several authentication methods such as password hash synchronization, pass-through authentication and federation. With password hash synchronization, the password hashes of the on-premises AD users are replicated to Azure AD. Pass-through authentication allows authentication to happen on-premises, and federation allows authentication to be handled by an external identity provider.
How do I secure access to resources in a hybrid environment?
Azure AD Conditional Access can be used to secure access to resources in a hybrid environment. This feature allows you to define policies that control access based on factors such as user location, device, and application. Additionally, Azure AD Identity Protection can be used to monitor and protect identities against threats.

What is Azure Active Directory and what does it do?
Azure Active Directory (AAD) is a comprehensive identity and access management solution from Microsoft that allows you to manage user identities and access to resources across your organization, whether they are on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both.
How does Azure Active Directory differ from on-premises Active Directory?
Azure Active Directory (AAD) is the cloud-based version of Active Directory, the on-premises directory service from Microsoft. AAD allows you to manage user identities and access to resources from anywhere, whereas on-premises Active Directory is limited to your organization's physical locations.
Can I use Azure Active Directory to manage users and groups from other clouds or on-premises?
Yes, Azure Active Directory allows you to manage users and groups from other clouds and on-premises by using Azure AD Connect to synchronize your on-premises identities with Azure AD.
Can I use Azure Active Directory to secure access to resources running on other clouds or on-premises?
Yes, Azure Active Directory can be used to secure access to resources running on other clouds or on-premises by using Azure AD Application Proxy, Azure AD Domain Services, or Azure AD PIM. These features allow you to extend the capabilities of Azure AD to other resources.
