Managed directory service connection

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory to store executable instructions that, as a result of execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• connect a directory node in a computing resource service provider environment to a customer computer system directory, the customer computer system directory referencing a set of data stored outside of the computing resource service provider;
• make the customer computer system directory available to a directory service of the computing resource service provider;
• and
• enable performance of directory operations by at least:
• obtaining, from the directory service of the computing resource service provider, a system resource location that corresponds to a system resource, wherein the set of data comprises the system resource;
• creating a resource identifier based at least in part on the system resource location;
• and
• forwarding one or more requests from the directory service to the customer computing system directory, wherein access to the system resource is based at least in part on the resource identifier.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• connect a directory node in a computing resource service provider environment to a customer computer system directory hosted outside of the computing resource service provider environment, the customer computer system directory referencing a set of data stored in the customer computing environment;
• make the customer computer system directory available to a directory service of the computing resource service provider environment;
• and
• process one or more requests to perform directory operations by forwarding the one or more requests from the directory service of the computing resource service provider to the customer computing system directory for fulfillment, the fulfillment of the requests utilizing at least a portion of the set of data associated with a system resource, wherein the one or more requests are processed by at least:
• obtaining, from the directory service of the computing resource service provider, a system resource location that corresponds to the system resource;
• and
• creating a resource identifier based at least in part on the system resource location, wherein access to the system resource is based at least in part on the resource identifier.
