Azure AD is a cloud identity provider
A tenant is what stores users, groups, policies, computers, etc
It works with OIDC, SAML, WS-FED, OAuth 2.0, etc that allows us to interact with other services
Active Directory Domain Services
Similar, but different to Azure AD
Supports Kerberos, NTLM, LDAP, etc
Azure AD is completely flat whereas on-prem AD is hierarchical in nature
It supports group policy and delegation
Azure AD Connect provides the ability to syncronize on-prem AD to cloud AD
3rd party SaaS solutions can be setup to trust a given AD tenant
Office 365 along with other Azure services also supports this setup providing a central point of governance
