Azure Terminologies - Basic Yet Important!

Azure Terminologies Description
 Identity A thing that can get authenticated.
An identity can be a user with a username and password.
Identities also include applications or other servers that might require authentication through secret keys or certificates.
 Account An identity that has data associated with it. You cannot have an account without an identity.
 Azure AD Account An identity created through Azure AD or another Microsoft cloud service, such as Office 365.
Identities are stored in Azure AD and accessible to your organization's cloud service subscriptions.
This account is also sometimes called a Work or school account.
 Azure Subscription Used to pay for Azure cloud services.
You can have many subscriptions and they're linked to a credit card.
 Azure Tenant A dedicated and trusted instance of Azure AD that's automatically created when your organization signs up for a Microsoft cloud service subscription, such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Intune, or Office 365.
An Azure tenant represents a single organization.
 Single Tenant Azure tenants that access other services in a dedicated environment are considered single tenant.
 Multi-Tenant Azure tenants that access other services in a shared environment, across multiple organizations, are considered multi-tenant.
 Azure AD Directory Each Azure tenant has a dedicated and trusted Azure AD directory.
The Azure AD directory includes the tenant's users, groups, and apps and is used to perform identity and access management functions for tenant resources.
 Custom Domain Every new Azure AD directory comes with an initial domain name, domainname.onmicrosoft.com.
In addition to that initial name, you can also add your organization's domain names, which include the names you use to do business and your users use to access your organization's resources, to the list.
Adding custom domain names helps you to create user names that are familiar to your users, such as alain@contoso.com.
 Account Administrator This classic subscription administrator role is conceptually the billing owner of a subscription. 
 Service Administrator This classic subscription administrator role enables you to manage all Azure resources, including access. This role has the equivalent access of a user who is assigned the Owner role at the subscription scope. 
 Owner This role helps you manage all Azure resources, including access.
