The AWS Directory Service is a managed service that makes it easy to connect to your existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory, or to set up and operate a new directory in the AWS cloud, making it easy to deploy and manage Windows workloads in the AWS cloud. Your directory users and groups can access the AWS Management Console, and AWS applications, such as Amazon WorkSpaces and Amazon WorkDocs, using their existing credentials.
