 ## Overview

-Previously known as AD-less deployment, the method of using local identity with Key Vault allows Azure Local to securely manage and store secrets, such as BitLocker keys, node passwords, and other sensitive information, without relying on Active Directory (AD). By integrating with Key Vault and using certificate-based authentication, you can enhance your security posture and ensure the continuity of operations.
+In addition to Active Directory (AD) based deployment, Azure Local supports deployment through Local Identity with Azure Key Vault, previosuly known as AD-less deployment.


Corrected spelling of 'previosuly' to 'previously'.

+Azure Local uses the Key Vault extension to securely store and manage secrets. To ensure reliability and security, the system continuously monitors the health of the Key Vault integration. If any issues are detected, alerts are automatically generated and surfaced through Azure Monitor for visibility and response.
+
+Alerts are sent through the Azure Alerts gateway and can be viewed in the Azure portal under **Monitor** > **Alerts**. You can configure action groups to receive notifications via email, SMS, or webhook. For more information, see [What are Azure Monitor alerts?](/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-overview)

+    This extension requires specific configurations that are only applied by the Azure Local Resource Provider (*Microsoft.AzureStackHCI Resource Provider*). To restore the extension, trigger a synchronization from the cluster by running the following command:

+    <!--Add command here-->


The command placeholder needs to be replaced with the actual command for triggering synchronization from the cluster. This is critical information for users troubleshooting the deleted extension scenario.

The link path appears to be missing the Azure documentation domain. It should be /azure/key-vault/general/quick-create-portal to match the standard Azure documentation URL format used elsewhere in the document.
