Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) is Google's purpose-built tool for synchronizing users, groups, and other data from an existing LDAP-compliant directory server, such as Active Directory, into Cloud Identity (and therefore into the GCP organization). Using GCDS keeps Active Directory as the single source of truth while automatically provisioning, updating, and deprovisioning corresponding Cloud Identity accounts, giving the organization centralized control over the Google identities used across all Google services, including GCP. Manual CSV export/import does not provide ongoing synchronization and is error-prone at scale, custom API scripting duplicates functionality already provided by GCDS, and self-signup accounts are unmanaged and give the organization no control over identity lifecycle.
