Azure/AWS windows domain controller for external on prem workstations ?

I have a company that has about 50 users , they all login locally with a local account to Windows 10 workstations .

There is not any infrastructure except the workstations in this company

They are interested in a domain controller and was you have it in AWS or AZURE with nothing else on the site as they would be using a FULL VM with a DC in AZURE or AWS .

Is this a good idea , it there latency issues ? or if the link goes down to AWS or azure will they be able to log in ?

thanks for all the help on this

my recommendation might be for this is to have a local "server" that is really a desktop class pc with tons of RAM and stuff.

i dont want to slow down logins and they can use this for other future things like maybe a print server etc
