One of my Windows Server 2016 VMs is hosted in AWS. I want to log in to the AWS Windows Server 2016 VM using either Entrust ID or Azure Active Directory credentials. The objective is to eliminate the dependency on "on-perm AD and AD Connect." How can I accomplish this?

How do you manage process visualization within your company?
We're currently facing a challenge: while we can create process diagrams using tools like Miro or Visio, we're missing a structured way to manage versions. Ideally, we’d like to have a system where we can create a draft version of a process, review and iterate on it, and then publish a final "production" version that is locked and cannot be edited.
