Microsoft Azure Active Directory is becoming Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft Azure Active Directory is transitioning to Microsoft Entra ID. This change was announced roughly one year after the inception of the Microsoft Entra product family. The original product range included Microsoft Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Entra Permissions Management, and Microsoft Entra Verified ID. This later expanded to involve Microsoft Entra ID Governance and Microsoft Entra Workload ID. Microsoft Entra now functions to protect every identity, guaranteeing access to resources regardless of their location, and offers a product suite that consolidates multicloud identity and network access solutions.
In an effort to streamline the product naming while bringing together the product suite, Microsoft is opting to rename Azure AD to Microsoft Entra ID. However, all capabilities and licensing plans, sign-in URLs, and APIs remain consistent. Existing deployments, configurations, and integrations will carry on as usual.
