Cross-Cloud Synchronization in Microsoft Entra

𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰.

Microsoft Entra now lets you automatically manage users across Microsoft commercial, US Government, and China clouds. You can easily create, update, or remove users across multiple cloud tenants, making it suitable for hybrid and multi-cloud setups.

  1. Fully automated user lifecycle management.
  2.  Opt-in feature: Must be enabled by admins; off by default.
  3. Supports cross-tenant sync for cloud pairs:
    • Commercial ↔ US Government (GCCH, DoD)
    • Commercial → China
  4. Licensing requirements: Each source user being synchronized must have a Microsoft Entra ID Governance or Microsoft Entra Suite license, in addition to an Entra ID P1/P2 license.
  5. Admins can set it up via Entra portal, PowerShell, or Graph API.
  6. General availability is scheduled for late September to mid-October 2025. No changes occur unless you enable it.
