Section titled “Concept”Amazon WorkSpaces is a virtual desktop that runs in the cloud — employees can use their office computer from any device. The desktop actually runs in AWS, and only the picture of the screen comes to the user’s device. You can get Windows or Linux desktops. In WorkSpaces Personal, everyone has their own permanent desktop, while in WorkSpaces Pools, many people share temporary desktops. It connects to Active Directory to manage users, and the data stays in the cloud.
