Active Directory (AD) Windows Server & Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

Imagine you have a big, magical house where you keep all your toys, games, and drawings. This house is your special place, you have the key to it, and only you decide what's inside it and who can come in.

An "On-Premises environment" is a bit like this magical house, but instead of toys and drawings, there are computers, programs, and important information for a company. All of this is located in one place, for example, in a special room at the company's office. The company takes care of these computers by itself, updating them, fixing them when something breaks, and deciding who can use them.

It's a bit like playing games on your own computer at home, instead of playing games online where you use someone else's computers far away. In an on-premises environment, everything is under the company's control - just like in your magical house, where you are in charge of everything.
