Best solution to connect to active directory hosted in EC2 Instance

Hi I am trying to build automation to manage active directory users, groups, and group memberships. We have multiple OU. Active directory is hosted in an EC2 instance in the same account.

I am planning to build FastAPI-Python based automation deployed in a docker container in the same AWS account where the active directory is hosted in an EC2 instance. Please advise on what is the best practice/approach to develop a solution for the above requirement.

The question isnt clear to me but would a Private APi Gateway with Python based Lambda functions connected to the VPC work instead of running a docker container?

My design is flexible to change docker to EC2 if that helps but my main challenge is how to connect to AD from Lambda or Step function tasks. ldaps is SSL enabled and not able to connect so thinking about an alternate way to perform AD operations.

Attach your Lambda function to the VPC and connect to your AD Server. Use appropiate Python module and thats it
