Is is possible to use Azure AD as a SAML compliant Identity Provider?

Question

And if this is possible how would one set this is up (minimal installation). I have seen there is ACS but that doesn't support the SAML protocol. I also know I can use AD FS to bridge this but I want this to be a simple as possible - out of the box.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be done. The key is some "missing" documentation:

Set-MsolDomainAuthentication ,,, -PreferredAuthenticationProtocol SAMLP

Refer: SAML : Federating with Azure Active Directory using SAML.
