Overview
AD Certificate Services on Windows Server 2019 allows you to create a scalable, secure, and manageable infrastructure for user and resource management, and provide support for directory-enabled applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server. It can create, validate, and revoke public key certificates for internal uses of an organization. AD Certificate Services provides a distributed database to store and manage information about network resources and application-specific data from directory-enabled applications. AD Certificate Services can be used by administrators to organize elements of a network, such as users, computers, and other devices, into a hierarchical containment structure. The hierarchical containment structure includes the Active Directory forest, domains in the forest, and organizational units (OUs) in each domain.
AD Certificate Services could be used for security enhancement by binding the identity of a person, device, or service to a corresponding private key. AD CS gives you a cost-effective, efficient, and secure way to manage the distribution and use of certificates.
AD Certificate Services supports Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), secure wireless networks, virtual private network (VPN), Internet Protocol security (IPsec), Encrypting File System (EFS), smart card logon, Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS), and digital signatures.
Highlights
- Key Attestation now supports the use of Smart Card Key Storage Providers
- Automate Certificate Provisioning and Lifecycle Management
- Configure AD Group Policies to dictate which users and machines are allowed which types of certificates

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the Amazon EC2 instance size you choose to run this pre-configured image. Each dimension maps to a specific instance type across several families, including burstable t2, t3, and t3a instances and general-purpose m3, m4, m5, m5a, m5ad, m5d, m5dn, and m5n instances. Sizes range from nano and micro up to 24xlarge and metal options. Larger instances carry more vCPU and memory, so your hourly rate scales with the compute capacity you select. You only pay for the hours each instance runs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One billable hour covers running this pre-configured Windows Server 2019 image on one Amazon EC2 instance of the size you select. The hourly rate reflects that instance's vCPU and memory. Each running instance meters its own hours. Running multiple instances means each one bills separately.
Software charges meter running time only, so a fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly fees. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for attached volumes while the instance is stopped. To end all software charges, stop or terminate the instance.
Yes. Each instance type is billed by its own hourly rate, so you can stop an instance and relaunch the image on another size. Your bill then reflects the new instance's rate. Larger sizes carry more vCPU and memory and a correspondingly higher hourly charge.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
