Can someone explain what is the difference between Azure Analysis Services and Azure Synapse Analytics? Why would one use Analysis Services over Synapse Analytics?
Thanks,
Azure Synapse Analytics is a rebrand of Azure SQL Data Warehouse (GA) with additional Analytics/Streaming/ML enhancements (currently at Public Preview).

Azure Analysis Services (AAS) is the Azure PaaS version for SQL Server Analysis Services.
