Overview
Now with AWS SSO, SAML 2.0 and Cognito integration for Single-Sign on!
Guacamole is a browser based remote access tool that provides easy access to hosts in all your VPCs, across accounts and regions. Access to Windows desktops (RDP), Linux terminals (SSH) and Kubernetes Pods is supported. No client software needed, a modern browser is all you need. This also enables administrators in corporate environments behind restrictive proxies to access remote servers on AWS.
This product ships with version 1.5.5 of the popular open-source HTML5 RDP and SSH client Apache Guacamole and GuAWS, an agent that queries your AWS environment to automatically discover running instances.
GuAWS is continuously scanning your VPC for new instances using the AWS API. It also scans across VPC, account and regional boundaries where VPC Transit Gateways or VPC Peering Connections are used. Your servers are organized by VPC and security group which makes it easy to find the right instance and manage access. Additionally, connections opened by users are logged to CloudWatch Logs.
A user management system provides fine grained access control to individual groups or instances. Single sign-on authentication can easily be added through Amazon Cognito or other OpenID compliant providers such as Auth0, Okta or Duo. Multi-Factor authentication is provided by the built-in TOTP plugin that works with Google Authenticator or similar apps. Follow the Setup Instructions link in the sidebar for additional details.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Access the application via a browser at https://[public_dns]/. The default user is guacadmin, the default password is the instance ID. Most browsers will display a certificate warning. This warning is letting you know that the certificate was self-signed instead of signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. You can safely ignore the warning as it doesn't impact the security of the connection by clicking on "Continue to this webpage" (Internet Explorer) or "Advanced" and then "Proceed to website" (Chrome). To connect to the underlying operating system of the EC2 instance connect via SSH with the username ec2-user.
