Delete Create an AD DS resource forest in Azure reference architecture (#15943) Retire the self-managed AD DS resource-forest-on-Azure-VM reference architecture (adds-forest) as part of the on-premises AD/AD FS topic cleanup. Running self-managed AD DS forests on IaaS VMs is not a cloud-first pattern; redirect readers to Microsoft Entra Domain Services (managed AD DS). - Delete adds-forest.yml, adds-forest-content.md, the diagram SVG, and the browse thumbnail. - Add redirect: adds-forest.yml -> /entra/identity/domain-services/overview. - Remove the retired entry from toc.yml, the index.yml featured card, and the curated reference-architecture lists in identity-start-here and security-get-started. - Repoint the Related-resources cross-link in the retained adds-extend-domain article to the Microsoft Entra Domain Services overview.

Delete Extend on-premises AD FS to Azure reference architecture Retire the AD FS-on-Azure-VM reference architecture (adfs) as part of the on-premises AD/AD FS topic cleanup. Running AD FS on IaaS VMs is not a cloud-first pattern; redirect readers to Microsoft Entra federation-to-cloud authentication migration guidance. - Delete adfs.yml, adfs-content.md, the diagram SVG, and the browse thumbnail. - Add redirect: adfs.yml -> /entra/identity/hybrid/connect/migrate-from-federation-to-cloud-authentication. - Remove the retired entry from toc.yml and the curated reference-architecture lists in identity-start-here and security-get-started. - Repoint Related-resources cross-links in azure-ad, adds-forest, and adds-extend-domain to the migration guidance.
