Training materials for city administrators still say “Azure AD,” but newer docs say “Microsoft Entra ID.” What should learners understand?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Same cloud directory, newer badge on the door—Microsoft Entra ID is the current name for what many still call Azure AD. Prefer Entra ID in fresh stems, but recognize both labels point at that directory. It did not become Blob tiers or an on-premises-only retreat.
Full Explanation
Microsoft rebranded Azure Active Directory as Microsoft Entra ID; the service remains the cloud identity directory used with Microsoft cloud services. Learners should prefer current naming while recognizing legacy “Azure AD” references in older materials. The rename does not convert the directory into a storage tier system or relocate it solely on-premises. AZ-900 materials increasingly use Entra ID while testing awareness of the continuity.
