AWS Cloud Directory

A directory-based store in AWS, where directories can scale to millions of objects. No need of managing the directory infrastructure, just focus on your development and deployment of the application. There is no limit to organize the directory objects in fixed hierarchy.
We can use Cloud Directory to organize directory objects in multiple hierarchies supporting many organizational pivots and relationships across directory information. For example, a directory of users may provide a hierarchical view based on reporting structure, location, and project affiliation. Similarly, a directory of devices may have multiple hierarchical views based on its manufacturer, current owner, and physical location.

We can do following with Cloud Directory:
Create directory-based applications easily and without having to worry about deployment, global scale, availability, and performance
Build applications that provide user and group management, permissions or policy management, device registry, customer management, address books, and application or product catalogs
Define new directory objects or extend existing types to meet their application needs, reducing the code they need to write
Reduce the complexity of layering applications on top of Cloud Directory
Manage the evolution of schema information over time, ensuring future compatibility for consumers

Cloud Directory is not a directory service for IT Administrators who want to manage or migrate their directory infrastructure.
