Description

AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, commonly referred to as AWS Managed Microsoft Active Directory (AD), allows your directory-capable applications and AWS services to seamlessly utilize a managed version of Active Directory within AWS. This service is based on genuine Microsoft AD technology and eliminates the need for data synchronization or replication from your on-premises Active Directory to the cloud. Users can leverage standard Active Directory administrative tools and utilize inherent features like Group Policy and single sign-on. With AWS Managed Microsoft AD, integrating Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS for SQL Server instances into your domain becomes straightforward, along with the ability to utilize AWS End User Computing (EUC) offerings such as Amazon WorkSpaces for AD users and groups. This service facilitates the migration of applications dependent on Active Directory and Windows-based workloads to the AWS environment. Additionally, AWS Managed Microsoft AD enables the application of Group Policies for managing EC2 instances while effectively supporting AD-dependent applications hosted in the AWS Cloud. Ultimately, this solution simplifies enterprise operations by providing a robust and scalable directory service in the cloud.
