Requirements for using ArcGIS with databases in the cloud
Limitations
If you do not use or cannot use the Esri cloud deployment tools to create the database, and you want to create a geodatabase in any of the supported database-as-a-service offerings listed above, you must use the Enable Enterprise Geodatabase geoprocessing tool to create a geodatabase. Do not use the Create Enterprise Geodatabase tool.
Operating system authenticated connections are not supported from ArcGIS clients to database-as-a-service offerings. Microsoft Azure Active Directory options are available when connecting to Azure SQL Database or Azure SQL Managed Instance.
I hope this helps.
