Microsoft whips up unrest after revealing Azure AD name change
Microsoft is causing a stir among some tech pros after confirming it plans to rename Azure AD to Entra.
"I want to assure you that your work protecting your organization, customers, partners, and the investments you've made in deploying Azure AD will continue uninterrupted. All configurations and integrations will continue to work as they do today, without any action needed from you. You'll see the new name start appearing in Microsoft product experiences in August 2023."
Service plan display names will change on October 1: Azure AD Free is to become Microsoft Entra ID Free, Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 will move to Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2, and Azure AD External Identities will switch to Microsoft Entra External ID. A source close to Microsoft's developer community told us they suspected a"monetization aspect" is related to the name change as Azure AD was initially free until premium versions were introduced, though all four tiers of the service plans remain and Microsoft insists prices will not be altered.
