We use AWS Directory Services for multiple customers, specifically for AWS EC2 Windows machine authentication and domain join computers. We also use it for AWS Directory Access Manager integration.
We primarily use the solution for accessing purposes for our Lambda and when we want to use services internally or across accounts. So we use Identity and Access Management (IAM) to provide that special access.
Our company uses the solution as a security layer for adding users to the AWS and managing user permissions. We currently have 1,000 users but are increasing usage every day.
I implement this solution for financial services customers based in Mexico. They connect to banks and other providers and interact with information, so I implement the solution using best practices for security.
