AWS Workspace: Desktop as a Service from AWS

AWS Workspace is a very useful service. You don't need to create and manage VMs for your employess/workers/contractors which are spread across the globe, just use AWS Workspaces. This is desktop as a service. Below are some basic points about AWS Workspaces:

1. Cloud desktop service (DaaS: Desktop as a Service)

2. You can use Amazon Workspaces to provision either Windows or Linux desktops in just a few minutes and quickly scale to provide thousands of desktops to workers across the globe. 

3. Workspaces helps you eliminate the complexity in managing hardware inventory, OS versions and patches, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), which helps simplify your desktop delivery strategy. 

4. With Amazon Workspaces, your users get a fast, responsive desktop of their choice that they can access anywhere, anytime, from any supported device.

5. Enable bring your own device (BYOD): Amazon Workspaces lets you run a cloud desktop directly on a wide range of devices like PC, Mac, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android tablet, Chromebook, and web browsers like Firefox, and Chrome. 

6. You can integrate these desktops with your company active directory.

7. You can pay either monthly or hourly, just for the Workspaces you launch, which helps you save money when compared to traditional desktops and on-premises VDI solutions.
