Amazon AppStream 2.0 is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) Region, an isolated AWS Region designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud for customers who have U.S. federal, state, or local government compliance requirements. With this launch, you can deploy general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, accelerated computing, storage optimized, graphics pro, graphics-g4, and graphics pro-g4 streaming instances in both the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions to help meet the needs of your users.
AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed non-persistent desktop (Windows or Linux) and application virtualization service that allows you to stream applications and desktops from AWS to users without acquiring, provisioning, and operating hardware or infrastructure. AppStream 2.0 can help you provide users with secure, instant-on access to the applications they need with a responsive, fluid user experience from anywhere on the device of their choice.
Amazon AppStream 2.0 offers you pay-as-you-go pricing for the streaming resources that you provision plus a small monthly fee per streaming user depending on the operating system chosen. See Amazon AppStream 2.0 Pricing for more information.
