Other directory types pricing

The prices shown in the following table are based on the region in which your managed directory is running. AWS charges for AD Connector are based on the size of your managed directory (small or large) and the number of hours that your managed directory is running.

If you use Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon WorkDocs, or Amazon WorkMail in conjunction with AWS Directory Service, you will not be charged an additional fee for AD Connector directories registered with these services, as long as you have active users of Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon WorkDocs, or Amazon WorkMail. In order to qualify for free usage of AD Connector, you must have at least one active user for small directories each month and at least 100 active users for large directories each month. You can also pay for Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, and run it in conjunction with Amazon applications, such as Amazon WorkSpaces and Amazon WorkMail.

Summary of charges

Your bill is €43.00.

24 hours x 30 days = 720 hours per domain controller

2 domain controllers per managed directory (required)

720 hours x 2 total domain controllers = 1,440 total domain controller hours

1,440 billable hours * €0.0296 per domain controller hour = €43.00

Please note that unlike AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, your AWS bill for AD Connector does not break down costs by individual domain controllers. Your bill shows a single line item for AD Connector for €43.00.

This example also assumes you are not using AD Connector with Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon WorkDocs, or Amazon WorkMail. You can use AD Connector with those services at no additional charge if you have at least 1 active user for small directories each month or at least 100 active users for large directories each month.
