Multi Region WorkSpaces Using Same AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory

Question

How would I design a WorkSpaces deployment in two different regions using the same AWS Managed AD directory? I cannot replicate the managed AD directory because only the directory in the primary Region can be registered for use with Amazon WorkSpaces. We want to use the same Managed AD directory for a WorkSpaces deployment in a different region.

Thank you!

Adding an AD Connector to your Managed AD design allows for WorkSpaces deployment in other regions.
