AWS WorkSpaces

Amazon WorkSpaces enables you to provision virtual, cloud-based desktops known as WorkSpaces for your users. WorkSpaces eliminates the need to procure and deploy hardware or install complex software. You can quickly add or remove users as needs change.

Amazon WorkSpaces allows you to choose between WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Pools depending on your organization and user needs.

• WorkSpaces Personal: Choose WorkSpaces Personal if you need persistent virtual desktops that are tailored for users who need a highly personalized desktop provisioned for their exclusive use. This is like a physical desktop computer that's assigned to an individual.

• WorkSpaces Pool: Choose WorkSpaces Pool for non-persistent virtual desktops that are tailored for users who need access to highly curated desktop environments hosted on ephemeral infrastructure.

More information can be found at AWS WorkSpaces Documentation website.
