In this workshop, we discuss several approaches to deploying Active Directory on AWS. After a short presentation, attendees have the opportunity to choose a hands-on walkthrough to deploy Active Directory using the AWS Managed Microsoft AD service and running Active Directory on Amazon EC2 Windows instances while leveraging different deployment modalities (extending domain, sub-domains, trusts, connector). Please bring a laptop for the hands-on exercises.

Lab A
Extending your on-premise Active Directory (AD)
to AWS using our AD Connector service to
allow you to tunnel network traffic over
HTTPS
This is one of the most common design patterns
we see from our customers and gives the most
freedom to allow single-domain extension into
AWS

Lab B
We introduce our own Active Directory managed
service called AWS Directory Service for AD
You will configure DNS, Federation, and trusts
between AWS and an on-premise AD environment.
We will also show a new feature that allows you
to extend AWS Directory Service into multiple
VPCs and AWS accounts
