AWS Directory Service Administration Guide Documentation Team

AWS Directory Service provides multiple ways to use Amazon Cloud Directory and Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with other AWS services. Directories store information about users, groups, and devices, and administrators use them to manage access to information and resources. AWS Directory Service provides multiple directory choices for customers who want to use existing Microsoft AD or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)- aware applications in the cloud. It also offers those same choices to developers who need a directory to manage users, groups, devices, and access.
