AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 206

Your company needs an inexpensive solution to host their AD data in the cloud. They do not need all of the features of AD but do need to be able to use it with
WorkSpaces. What is the best solution?

Answer options

• A. AD Connector
• B. Hosted Microsoft AD
• C. Simple AD
• D. Deploy an AD server on an M3.large instance

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Simple AD, which is a low-cost option that provides basic Active Directory features suitable for integration with WorkSpaces. AD Connector and Hosted Microsoft AD offer additional features that may not be necessary, increasing costs, while deploying an AD server on an M3.large instance would also be more expensive and complex than needed.
