DirectorServiceData (ds-data) not available on GovCloud prevents AWS Workspace provisioning automation

[brianwang17]

I've been trying to find a way to automate deployments of AWS Workspaces with Managed Microsoft AD through Pulumi IaC.

I came across a recent article from AWS explaining a new API called ds-data that allows for CRUD operations on the active directory itself in Directory Service which was perfect for my use-case since Workspaces prior to provisioning requires the user, that's about to be attached, to exist in AD prior to the provisioning itself.

When trying to run ds-data through AWS CloudShell and boto3 to test it out, I find out that ds-data doesn't exist in the current version of the AWS CLI and SDK for GovCloud. Is there any workaround to this? Has anyone tried to automate creation of Workspaces through Pulumi? or any other way for that matter? Also, does anyone know if there is a way to petition to AWS to expedite the update of libraries on GovCloud or is that not a thing?
