How it works

AppStream 2.0 is an AWS End User Computing (EUC) service that can be configured for SaaS application streaming or delivery of virtual desktops with selective persistence. When AppStream 2.0 is used for virtual desktops, saved files and application settings remain persistent between user sessions, and a fresh virtual desktop is assigned to the user every time they log on. AppStream 2.0 works with Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client, for cost-effective, easy-to-manage, secure access to virtual desktops that improves end-user and IT staff productivity..

AppStream 2.0 offers multi-session capability, allowing you to provision multiple user sessions on a single AppStream 2.0 instance. This gives you the ability to optimize resource utilization and helps lower cost, supporting a wide range of user types without over provisioning.
