With AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (Enterprise Edition), also known as AWS Microsoft AD, you can now migrate additional Windows workloads such as SharePoint and SQL Server Always On availability groups without the complexity of building and maintaining your own Active Directory (AD) infrastructure.
