2017/07/06 - AWS Directory Service - 2 new 1 updated api methods

UpdateNumberOfDomainControllers (new) Link ¶

Adds or removes domain controllers to or from the directory. Based on the difference between current value and new value (provided through this API call), domain controllers will be added or removed. It may take up to 45 minutes for any new domain controllers to become fully active once the requested number of domain controllers is updated. During this time, you cannot make another update request.

DescribeDirectories (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'DirectoryDescriptions': {'DesiredNumberOfDomainControllers': 'integer'}}

Obtains information about the directories that belong to this account.

You can retrieve information about specific directories by passing the directory identifiers in the DirectoryIds parameter. Otherwise, all directories that belong to the current account are returned.

This operation supports pagination with the use of the NextToken request and response parameters. If more results are available, the DescribeDirectoriesResult.NextToken member contains a token that you pass in the next call to DescribeDirectories to retrieve the next set of items.

You can also specify a maximum number of return results with the Limit parameter.
