Abstract: Techniques for managing a cross-region directory service are described. A method of managing a cross-region directory service may include establishing a cross region peer connection between a first directory virtual network of a directory service in a first region of a provider network and a second directory virtual network of the directory service in a second region of the provider network, the second directory virtual network associated with a pre-allocated classless interdomain routing (CIDR) range, replicating, by a cross-region replicator, data or metadata associated with the directory service from the first region to the second region, and orchestrating one or more updates to the directory service in the second region based at least on the data or metadata replicated to the second region.

Abstract: Techniques for replication of domain controller settings are described. A method for replicating domain controller settings may include identifying at least one event for a directory service implemented in a provider network, obtaining event data associated with the at least one event, the event data including a settings change, and replicating the settings change associated with the at least one event to a plurality of domain controllers of the directory service based on the event data associated with the at least one event, each of the plurality of domain controllers located in a different availability zone of the provider network.
