AWS Managed Microsoft AD Gets Easy Standard to Enterprise Upgrade

AWS Directory Service now lets you upgrade AWS Managed Microsoft AD from Standard to Enterprise Edition directly in the console without migrating or rejoining workloads. Enterprise Edition handles up to 500,000 objects compared to Standard's 5,000-user limit, perfect for growing organizations. Your DNS settings, trust relationships, and group policies stay intact during the upgrade. Head to the AWS Directory Service console to get started.
