Introduction

AWS Simple Active Directory (AD) enables you to provision an active directory inside of your existing AWS account. Once Simple AD is active, you may continue and purchase your AWS Workspaces (Virtual, cloud-based desktop).


Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's proprietary directory service. It runs on Windows Server and enables administrators to manage permissions and access to network resources. Simple AD is a standalone managed directory that is powered by a Samba 4 Active Directory Compatible Server, storing data as objects.
