APIs

Manage WorkSpaces actions such as Create/Reboot/Remove via command line or APIs.

Monitoring

Review WorkSpaces health and connection metrics. Set up custom alarms for events.

•BYOL• You can now bring your existing Windows 7 Desktop license to Amazon WorkSpaces and

run the Windows 7 Desktop OS on hardware that is physically dedicated to you. This option delivers a $4 per month saving and also enables you to use the same Windows 7 Golden image as on-premises

•Encrypted Volumes• To meet the most stringent compliance requirements, Workspaces storage volumes can

now be encrypted using AWS Key Management Service (KMS)

•Client App for Chromebook• Additional Client App so customers can make use of low cost “thin client” style

Chromebooks reducing their overall TCO for providing desktop services

•Smaller Public Gateway IP range• The range of IP addresses supporting the PCOIP Gateway for Workspaces has been

reduced so that customers can set more finely grained firewall policies

•Connection Health Check Web Site (http://health.amazonworkspaces.com/)• The website quickly checks if you can get to all of the required services to use WorkSpaces. In

addition, it does a performance check to each AWS Region where WorkSpaces run, and lets users know which one will be fastest for them
