I have O365 and Azure Active Directory enabled. Domain is testcompany.com and user can login to O365 with firstname.lastname#testcompany.com
I know how to create virtual network and create virtual machine to it.
And I would like to Web App to support AD authentication.
However I don't know what I need to do to able to join VM to AD. Should I create Azure Domain Services next? I read several articles explaining different features but cannot see what are main steps to perform.
Should I create Azure Domain Services next?
Yes, we should enable Azure AD Domain Services.
Here are the steps:
1.Create the AAD DC Administrators group
2.Create or select a virtual network for Azure Domain services
3.Enable Azure AD domain services
4.Update DNS settings for the Azure Virtual network
5.Enable password synchronization to AAD Domain Services for a cloud-only Azure AD tenant.
After completing the tasks above, you can a VM to the domain by referring to the link.

I have set up an Azure Active Directory Domain Service which is successfully synchronising with Azure Active Directory.
Creating a Virtual Machine and joining the domain works sucesffully. VM is in a separate VNET with peering. It is possible to login to the Virtual Machine with domain accounts.
However, in the 'Devices' blade in Azure Active Directory, the Virtual Machine is not shown.
Are there any obvious things to check?
Thanks
There are three ways to get a device identity in your Azure Active Directory:
Azure AD registration
Azure AD join Hybrid
Azure AD join
If you want the Devices to add automatically after they join the domain, you need to implement Azure AD join Hybrid
You can have a solution in this thread

How do I restrict remote AAD (Work/School) connected personal machines with Group Policy enforced from the AADDS VM?
This client's company is fully remote and is looking for a cloud group policy solution.
Is there anyway to use AADDS to accomplish this task?
Thanks,
To manages machines/computers with group policy the machine should be joined with domain(on prem domain controller or azure adds) Once the machine is joined to domain you can apply group policies.
If you are looking to use azure ad ds managed instance . it gives the ability to join computers on a domain without any need to manage or deploy a Domain Controller. The users can sign-in by using their existing corporate credentials.
If you want to manage group policy with adds managed instance, you need to create an additional vm with sevrer OS and you need to install required server roles to preform additional operations.

Or else you can use Azure AD registered devices, The goal of Azure AD registered devices is to provide your users with support for the bring your own device (BYOD) or mobile device scenarios.
You can find more information Here about device management in azure Azure AD.
I'm looking for a solution and to know if it's possible to have one (1) on-prem AD server to manage/authenticate Azure VMs and other on-prem servers (Hybrid infra). I've made some searching and I can only find the other way around where: Azure AD to authenticate on-prem and VMs aka hybrid Azure AD join.
You can join a windows server machine to Azure Active Domain services. You can get more detailed explanation by checking in this link.
Hybrid Azure AD join is you can join your machine to both on-premises Active Directory and Azure Active Directory. Azure Active Directory and Azure Active Directory Domain services are 2 different thigs.
I recently created a Azure Bastion service and Azure VM in my organisation's Subscription. When I try to connect to the VM via the Bastion using local Admin ID it worked. However the same is failing when I try with my Azure AD ID. Is this a limitation?
There are two (2) authentication schemes:
Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication: Azure Bastion does not currently support authentication using AAD-based (cloud) users. This request is known and prioritized as "high" by the product team. See this [link][1] for details in user voice. The advantage of this approach is to provide full cloud-based authentication, with no dependency on on-premises technology (in this case, Active Directory). One workaround for now is to expose a jumpoint on a vNet until availability of this feature.
Azure Directory (AD) authentication: Azure Bastion does currently support authentication using AD-based users (Windows AD User). Since this is a managed "Active Directory" provided by Microsoft, the use of Azure AD Connect is needed to sync this domain (and users) to Azure Active Directory (AAD). The drawback of this approach is to continue building using on-premises technology (Active Directory).
Public preview announced during Microsoft Ignite 2021 to include support for Azure AD login for Bastion enabled VMs. It is available using Azure CLI client on Windows and leveraging native client (openSSH to do Azure AD based SSH for Linux and mstsc to do Azure AD based RDP for Windows). Details can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bastion/connect-native-client-windows
why I need a sync from onpremise AD to Azure AD for azure windows virtual desktop? It stands in the requierments but I do not understand the details why.

Windows Virtual desktop is at time not compatible to run in a cloud only environment with Azure Active Directory only.
There are two options supported.
• Local AD synced with AAD connect to Azure AD
If you already are using a local active directory synced with Azure Ad Connect to Azure AD. This is probably your first choice of setup. You will need to add an Azure VPN to connect your LAN to an Azure Network. The WVD hosts need access to a Domain controller. For the best performance and functions, I also recommend setup of a Virtual domain controller in Azure.
• Azure Domain Services
If you have gone cloud only and deprecated your local AD, Azure offer Azure Domain Services. This is an Azure managed domain that is synced from Azure AD to Azure DS
