Creating DNS with AWS Managed Microsoft AD and Managing Users in AWS Directory Service

“ I have checked the documents of AWS for creating dns with aws managed microsoft ad and managing users in aws directory service. AWS Directory Service makes it easy for users and groups to be managed with dns creation. In terms of cost, the solution is cheaper and secure.”

AWS Directory service provides multiple ways to use Microsoft Active Directory 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 aware applications in the cloud. It also offers those same choices to developers who need a directory to manage users, groups, devices and access.
