    Amazon WorkSpaces offers an easy way to provide a cloud-based desktop experience to your end users. Users can connect from a PC, Mac desktop computer, iPad, Kindle, or Android tablet. Amazon WorkSpaces eliminates the need to procure and deploy hardware or install complex software.<\/p>

    Features<\/h3>
    • Choose your operating system (Windows or Amazon Linux) and select from a range of hardware configurations, software configurations, and AWS Regions. For more information, see Amazon WorkSpaces Bundles.<\/li>
    • Connect to your WorkSpace and pick up from right where you left off. Amazon WorkSpaces provides a persistent desktop experience.<\/li>
    • Amazon WorkSpaces provides the flexibility of either monthly or hourly billing for WorkSpaces. For more information, see Amazon WorkSpaces Pricing.<\/li>
    • Deploy and manage applications for your WorkSpaces by using Amazon WorkSpaces Application Manager (Amazon WAM).<\/li>
    • For Windows desktops, you can bring your own licenses and applications, or purchase them from the AWS Marketplace for Desktop Apps.<\/li>
    • Create a standalone managed directory for your users, or connect your WorkSpaces to your on-premises directory so that your users can use their existing credentials to obtain seamless access to corporate resources.<\/li>
    • Use the same tools to manage WorkSpaces that you use to manage on-premises desktops.<\/li>
    • Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional security.<\/li>
    • Use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt data at rest, disk I\/O, and volume snapshots.<\/li>
    • Control the IP addresses from which users are allowed to access their WorkSpaces.<\/li><\/ul>

      Before You Begin<\/h3>
      • You must have an AWS account to create or administer a WorkSpace. Users do not need an AWS account to connect to and use their WorkSpaces.<\/li>
      • When you launch a WorkSpace, you must select a WorkSpace bundle. For more information, see Amazon WorkSpaces Bundles.<\/li>
      • When you launch a WorkSpace, you must specify profile information for the user, including a user name and email address. Users complete their profiles by specifying a password. Information about WorkSpaces and users is stored in a directory.<\/li>
      • Amazon WorkSpaces is not available in every Region. Verify the supported Regions and select a Region for your WorkSpaces. For more information about the supported Regions, see Amazon WorkSpaces Pricing by AWS Region.<\/li><\/ul>
