This AWS guidance explains how to monitor and scale AWS Managed Microsoft AD using Amazon CloudWatch: it details scale-up (Standard to Enterprise) versus scale-out (adding domain controllers), key AD and infrastructure metrics to track (CPU, disk free space, memory, DB latency, network, NTDS metrics), recommended alarm thresholds and dashboard setup steps, and post-scaling updates and cleanup actions to maintain functionality and control costs.
