WorkSpaces helps your workforce securely and reliably access applications and data from anywhere.

The following WorkSpaces features are common to both, WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Pools.

You can manage a mix of WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Pools virtual desktops using a single toolset within the AWS Management Console, resulting in a unified administrative experience.

WorkSpaces offers a variety of bundles that provide a range of hardware and software options to meet your needs. To get started, select and launch the WorkSpaces bundles with desired hardware and software configurations. See details
