cdk-managed-ad

This is a level 2ish/3ish cdk construct library for deployment and management of a AWS Managed Microsoft AD.

Usage

The MicrosoftAD construct creates an AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory in your VPC. Here's how to use it:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import * as ec2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ec2';
import * as sm from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-secretsmanager';
import { MicrosoftAD } from 'cdk-managed-ad';

const stack = new cdk.Stack();

// Create a VPC (or use an existing one)
const vpc = new ec2.Vpc(stack, 'VPC', {
  maxAzs: 2,
});

// Existing Secret ARN of string type (not JSON)
const EXISTING_SECRET_ARN = string "arn:aws:secretsmanager:YOUR_REGION:YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID:secret:YOUR_EXISTING_SECRET_ARN"

// Create the Microsoft AD
const ad = new MicrosoftAD(stack, 'CorporateAD', {
  domainName: 'corp.example.com',
  password: sm.Secret.fromSecretCompleteArn(self, "ExistingSecret", EXISTING_SECRET_ARN)
  vpc: vpc,
  edition: 'Standard', // or 'Enterprise'
  shortName: 'CORP', // optional. This would be your NetBIOS name.
  enableDirectoryDataAccess: true, // optional, . Enables Directory Service Data Access
});

// The directory ID and DNS IPs are available as properties
console.log('Directory ID:', ad.directoryId);
console.log('DNS IPs:', ad.dnsIps);
console.log('Admin Password Secret ARN:', ad.secretArn);
