AWS Directory Services
- Used to extend the AD network by involving services like EC2 to be a part of the AD to share login credentials.
AWS Managed Microsoft AD
Login credentials are shared between on-premise and AWS managed AD
Manage users on both AD (on-premise and on AWS managed AD)
Supports MFA
Establish trust connections with your on premise AD
Supports directory-aware workloads on AWS
AD Connector
AD connector will proxy all the requests to the on-premise AD
Users are managed on the on-premise AD only
Does not support directory-aware workloads on AWS
Simple AD
AD-compatible managed directory on AWS (cannot be joined with on-premise AD)
Users are managed on the AWS AD only
Use when you don’t have an on-premise AD
Note
Use AWS Managed Microsoft AD unless the problem specifically asks for properties of AD Connector or Simple AD
