Need to create isolated Azure Environment

Question

Hello,
We have a hybrid setup with Microsoft Azure in which our onsite active directory syncs to Azure with AD connect.
What I am trying to figure out is how to create a separate environment in Azure for testing in which users can create and modify any resources they need without interfering with our existing Office 365 or Azure active directory. If it is put on a separate subscription, is that enough or is there more that needs to be done to separate the two?

Thank you

If you want your environment to be truly isolated then I would recommend creating a separate Microsoft tenant for this. This way, your test environment will have its own independent Azure AD which you can use for integration testing with various Azure resources. You would then have an Azure subscription created on this new tenant.

Here's some documentation to help with this.
