Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Create an Active Directory

Make sure that you create an Active Directory (AD) before you create your cluster. For information about how to choose the type of active directory for your cluster, see Which to choose in the Amazon Directory Service Administration Guide.

If the directory is empty, add users with user names and passwords. For more information, see the documentation that's specific to Amazon Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory or Simple AD.

Note

Amazon ParallelCluster requires every Active Directory user directory to be in the /home/$user directory.
