Log in to Sharepoint 2016 using your Enterprise Office 365 account

I want to create a Sharepoint 2016 site. For this I will first install Sharepoint 2016 on a VM. I would like users to log into the Sharepoint 2016 site using their Office 365 credentials so that I do not have do any kind of Identity Mangement. Is this possible in SP2016 ? Need help?

NOTE: My Sharepoint 2016 is a on premise installation on a single VM (single farm install). I want my fellow employees to use our organizational office 365 account to sign-in to my sharepoint site. I am newbie to Sharepoint. So it would be nice if you could outline the steps and point me to any documentation for details.

Thanks.

    SharePoint 2016 does not support Azure AD Domain Services (if it did you could easily do what you want ). Do you have Active Directory running on-premises? if so, then your users can access sharepoint directly after logging into your network. Just use the default claims based authentication with Windows. When they visit SPoline, they will need to enter their upn/email address (unless you have ADFS configured)
