Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now offers enhanced flexibility features that provide customers with more choices for compute and configurable storage volume. Customers can also import their custom EC2 AMIs to create Amazon WorkSpaces images. These new capabilities help customers better match resources to their specific application requirements while optimizing costs.
The service now includes 100+ additional compute instance types and sizes across all supported instance families, including general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, and accelerated options. Customers can also customize storage volumes ranging from 200GB to 500GB, and utilize their own Microsoft Windows Server 2022 AMIs along with their preferred image customization tools.
With these enhancements, customers can now match their computing resources to exactly what their applications need while controlling costs effectively. Organizations can choose the right instance type for each use case – whether it’s basic office applications running on cost-efficient general-purpose instances, or demanding CAD software requiring powerful compute-optimized instances. The ability to select storage size options allows customers to use additional storage based on their application needs. All of this customization is available while maintaining the simplicity of a fully managed service, eliminating the complexity of infrastructure management.
These new capabilities are now generally available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Applications is supported. The enhanced features follow WorkSpaces Applications’ standard pay-as-you-go pricing model. For detailed pricing information, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Pricing page.
