What is the result of deploying Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) to support hybrid authentication in an Azure HDInsight cluster?

1. It meets the authentication goal.

2. It does not meet the authentication goal.

3. It requires additional user configurations.

4. It is a temporary solution.

The correct answer is: It does not meet the authentication goal.

Deploying Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS) to support hybrid authentication in an Azure HDInsight cluster does not meet the authentication goal primarily because Azure AD DS is not inherently compatible with the authentication mechanisms required by HDInsight. While Azure AD DS provides a domain-joined experience without the need for deploying and managing domain controllers, HDInsight is designed to work with Azure Active Directory for authentication and authorization directly, rather than relying on a domain services model. In scenarios involving Azure HDInsight, true hybrid authentication typically requires the integration of on-premises Active Directory with Azure Active Directory, but not through Azure AD DS. Instead, users would leverage Azure AD federated services or similar mechanisms to enable seamless authentication across services. Hence, deploying Azure AD DS alone would not fulfill the authentication requirements for integrating users effectively into the HDInsight environment.
