This deployment configures a connection between Azure AD, the Intune service from Autopilot, and an AWS managed-Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) which holds the WorkSpaces being deployed. The following diagram shows the architecture, along with a list of items/resources required to deploy Intune to an AWS managed environment/service successfully:
EC2 instances for domain resources and AD connector for WorkSpaces authentication, and internet connectivity for Microsoft Azure Cloud
