I am new to Azure and trying to determine whether to establish my network in the older portal, or the new portal. I understand the new portal is resource based and is being encouraged for new installations.
In my testing I noticed Active Directory as a service does not show as a resource in the new portal, but it does show up in the older portal. In addition, when I try to configure active directory to link to a virtual network, it can only "see" the networks created in the original portal.
Is there a way to get Active Directory as a service to be reflected in the new portal, or at least for Active Directory to be configured to the networks created in the new portal? This seems like a very useful service and would eliminate the need to maintain our own virtual machines for the purpose of addressing active directory requirements within the new portal's network environment.
I would appreciate any clarification, or suggestions on the subject.
Thanks.
