‘Amazon Web Services announces cloud Active Directory’ – Forrester
Andras Cser says, “As we predicted in May 2012, user directories are moving into the cloud.

While this offering announced now by AWS is not necessary technically groundbreaking (Cloud IAM vendors and Microsoft Azure have been offering AD integration for a relatively long time). Obviously this announcement is relevant because of AWS’s broad presence in IaaS. We urge Forrester’s clients that plan to use AWS AD service to ask AWS the following questions:
