Simple AD quotas
Important Notice
Simple AD is no longer open to new customers. For capabilities similar to Simple AD, explore AWS Managed Microsoft AD or AD Connector. For more information, see Simple AD availability changes.
Generally, you should not add more than 500 users to a Small Simple AD directory and no more than 5,000 users to a Large Simple AD directory. For more flexible scaling options and additional Active Directory features, consider using AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition) instead.
The following are the default quotas for Simple AD. Each quota is per Region unless otherwise noted.
| Resource | Default quota |
|---|---|
| Simple AD directories | 10 |
| Manual snapshots * | 5 per Simple AD |
* The manual snapshot quota cannot be changed.
Note
You cannot attach a public IP address to your AWS elastic network interface (ENI).
