In Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure

Azure Active Directory Cloud Sync is a software that synchronizes objects from Active Directory to Azure Active Directory.
Azure AD Connect cloud synchronization orchestrates the provisioning of AD objects to Azure AD in Microsoft Online Services. Locally only a simple agent is needed.

The entire synchronization configuration is set up in the Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com). Azure AD Cloud Sync supports high availability by installing the agent on multiple servers.

This tutorial describes how to install and configure Azure AD Cloud Sync.

Azure AD Connect: High Availability with Staging Mode

By Oliver Müller

In Microsoft Azure

The ability to run an Azure AD Connect installation in staging mode, prepared identically by importing the active configuration, allows a High Availability solution to be created for Azure AD synchronization with minimal effort.

In case of a disaster recovery of the Azure AD Connect service, only the staging mode on the prepared server can be deactivated due to the high availability. The synchronization from Active Directory to Azure Active Directory continues to work seamlessly.
