AWS Directory Service Valuable Features

The most valuable feature is that because it's all in the cloud, you don't need to manage the infrastructure. You don't need to install the hardware cost. The primary benefit with implementing the AWS Directory Service is that the organization can now extend AD identity and management capabilities to AWS resources. Without the AWS Directory Services, both AD and Active Directory and AWS would have to be managed separately.

We find the access management system valuable. It provides access to our needs, and we don't need to give any extra access to our employees because everyone doesn't need access. So we can provide specific access to people based on what they need from our accounts.

The availability rates are high at 99.99% because there are two concurrent data centers that protect against failures.

AWS handles everything on the backend requiring minimal legwork from our team. We only require a dedicated database administrator while depending on Amazon for RDS.
