Accelerate Amazon WorkSpaces deployment with streamlined Bring Your Own License (BYOL) process

WorkSpaces has improved the BYOL process, offering customers a more efficient and faster way to import their Windows images to use with WorkSpaces. With this streamlined approach, customers can enable the BYOL feature in their AWS account without contacting AWS Support.

The new process supports importing either customized virtual machine (VM) images or Windows ISO files directly into WorkSpaces. Leveraging an integrated Amazon EC2 Image Builder pipeline, the system automatically constructs a WorkSpaces-compatible image from the imported source. During this process, most compatibility issues are identified and resolved automatically, reducing the manual troubleshooting efforts previously required.

In cases where compatibility issues cannot be fixed automatically, customers now have the ability to access an EC2 instance to address these issues directly. This eliminates the need to upload a new image, further streamlining the import process. These improvements collectively reduce the overall time needed to get started with BYOL images on WorkSpaces, while minimizing the associated troubleshooting efforts.

The improved BYOL process is available in all regions where WorkSpaces BYOL is currently available. To learn more, see the Amazon WorkSpaces BYOL documentation.
