What solution would allow users to access a Windows Server-based virtual machine on Azure while using their corporate credentials?

Azure AD Domain Services
Azure Virtual Networks
Azure Bastion
Azure Resource Manager

The correct answer is: Azure AD Domain Services

Using Azure AD Domain Services enables users to access a Windows Server-based virtual machine on Azure with their corporate credentials. This service provides managed domain services such as Active Directory domain join, group policy, and LDAP, without the need for deploying domain controllers in the cloud. When users authenticate using Azure AD Domain Services, they can log into the VM using their existing corporate Active Directory credentials. This seamless integration is especially valuable for organizations looking to leverage cloud resources while maintaining centralized user identity management and security policies. The other options do not provide the same capability. For instance, Azure Virtual Networks facilitate network connectivity but do not manage user authentication. Azure Bastion offers secure RDP and SSH connectivity, yet it does not inherently manage directory services or authentication against corporate credentials. Azure Resource Manager is focused on resource deployment and management, lacking any authentication features for users accessing VMs. Therefore, Azure AD Domain Services is the most suitable solution for this scenario.
