AWS End User Computing

The End User Computing category comprises of services which cater to Workstation Services needs.  It provides virtualized computer terminals as well as an Application Streaming service in a client-server setup.

Here are the two services that are currently in this category.

WorkSpaces
       - Amazon Workspaces enables you to provision virtual, cloud-based Microsoft Windows desktops for your users, known as WorkSpaces.  It eliminates the need to procure and deploy hardware or install complex software.  You can quickly add or remove users as your needs change.  Users can access their virtual desktops from multiple devices or web browsers.
       - Virtual terminals (VDI).  A way of having your desktop in the cloud.

WorkDocs
       - Amazon WorkDocs is a fully managed, secure, enterprise storage and sharing service with strong administrative controls and feedback capabilities that improve user productivity.  Your files are stored in the cloud, safely and securely.  It even includes a synchronization application that always keeps selected folders on your local computer in sync with your cloud folders.  Your files are only visible to you, and your designated contributors and viewers.  Other members of your organization do not have access to any of your files unless you specifically grant them access.

AppStream 2.0
       - Amazon AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application streaming service that provides users with instant access to their desktop applications from anywhere. AppStream 2.0 manages the AWS resources required to host and run your applications, scales automatically, and provides access to your users on demand. AppStream 2.0 provides users access to the applications they need on the desktop device of their choice, with a responsive, fluid user experience that is indistinguishable from natively installed applications. There are no files to download and no time-consuming installations.
       - With AppStream 2.0, you can easily add your existing desktop applications to AWS and instantly start streaming them to an HTML5 compatible browser. You can maintain a single version of each of your applications, which makes application management easier. Your users always access the latest versions of their applications. Your applications run on AWS compute resources, and data is never stored on users' devices, which means they always get a high performance, secure experience. Unlike traditional on-premises solutions for desktop application streaming, AppStream 2.0 offers pay-as-you-go pricing, with no upfront investment and no infrastructure to maintain. You can scale instantly and globally, ensuring that your users always have the best possible experience.
