"The New AWS Directory Service

Today we are introducing the AWS Directory Service to address
these challenges! This managed service provides two types of
directories. You can connect to an existing on-premises directory
or you can set up and run a new, Samba-based directory in the Cloud."

Congratulations to everyone on the Team who
created SambaAD and all our users and testers
who have helped us make the code work so well !

Hopefully we'll get a lot more bug reports and
upstream code changes from all the extra usage
and Amazon corporate backing.

Truely we live in interesting times :-).

Jeremy.
