entra domain services

The entra domain services tag covers a practical cross-cloud identity and storage architecture involving Microsoft Entra ID, Azure, and AWS. The featured discussion examines how Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and FSx for Windows File Server can use Entra identities by joining Microsoft Entra Domain Services over an Azure-to-AWS VPN. It emphasizes that this is a bridge pattern rather than native Entra ID support for FSx, helping administrators understand the distinction when planning SMB file access. The topic is especially relevant to enterprise IT teams balancing modern cloud identity with storage platforms that still depend on traditional domain services and domain-joined authentication.
