Overview
Your initial task involves setting up the network infrastructure in AWS. In this segment, you will make use of AWS Quick Start to construct a secure and highly available (HA) network infrastructure. Additionally, you will deploy an instance of AWS Managed Microsoft Active Directory using AWS Directory Service to emulate your on-premises DNS system. Upon completing this stage, you will have successfully implemented the subsequent infrastructure architecture:
AWS Quick Starts
AWS Quick Starts stands as a collection of architectural templates created by Solution Architects and AWS Partners. These templates employ AWS CloudFormation as the underlying tool to build the architectures outlined within them.
AWS CloudFormation
AWS CloudFormation represents AWS’s service for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enabling the creation of infrastructure based on templates written in either YAML or JSON format. A designated template is uploaded to the CloudFormation service, which then automatically generates the infrastructure as defined in the template.
AWS Directory Service
AWS Directory Service provides a mechanism to deploy an Active Directory directly on the AWS Cloud, streamlining management tasks and granting end-user access to AWS services.
