Amazon WorkSpaces 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 security and compliance requirements. For a list of regions where WorkSpaces is available, see the AWS Region Table. With this launch, you can now use Amazon WorkSpaces cloud desktops to help address data sovereignty requirements without the cost and complexity of building on-premises Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed desktop virtualization service for Windows, Amazon Linux, and Ubuntu that allows you to access resources from any supported device. You can add or remove WorkSpaces to meet your dynamic workforce's needs and still provide end users with a more responsive experience.
Amazon WorkSpaces pricing provides monthly subscription or hourly metering options per virtual desktop instances. See Amazon WorkSpaces Pricing for more information.
