Amazon Linux 2 Remote Desktop with high-end NICE DCV Remote 3D experience - includes NVIDIA 3D Grid performance drivers. Optimized NICE DCV configurations are covered by the charges.
Overview
NICE DCV is a high performance remote streaming protocol that enables user to securely access remote desktop or application sessions, including 3D graphics applications hosted on servers with high-performance GPUs.
NICE DCV offers end users a wide range of client devices, including native clients for Windows, Linux, and MacOS operating systems. Native clients support up to 4 monitors at 4K resolution each and the Windows client also supports USB redirection for 3D mice and USB storage devices. In addition, NICE DCV helps customers with remote Linux desktops to reduce session costs by supporting multiple simultaneous full-performant 3D Linux sessions from one high performance GPU server.
NICE DCV Amazon Linux 2 Desktop supports high end remote 3D access for e.g. HPC pre-/post-processing applications. Includes support for remote USB devices and file transfer. NVIDIA drivers pre-installed for optimal remote 3D experience.
On AWS, NICE DCV provides the streaming protocol e.g. used by Nimble Studio, Amazon Appstream 2.0 and AWS RoboMaker.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on which NVIDIA-GPU instance type you run. All eleven dimensions cover the same Amazon Linux 2 desktop with NICE DCV for 3D graphics streaming. They differ only by the underlying EC2 GPU instance size, spanning the g3, g3s, and g4dn families. Larger instances carry more GPU, CPU, and memory resources, so their hourly rate rises accordingly. You choose one instance type to match your workload and can stop or switch at any time, since billing follows actual usage hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate covers an Amazon Linux 2 desktop running NICE DCV on one EC2 GPU instance. The instance type sets the GPU, CPU, and memory you receive. On a T4-based instance with 16GB, you can typically run 10-12 concurrent 3D Linux desktops sharing that GPU.
Software charges follow running instance-hours. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops. You can switch instance types or stop at any time, since billing tracks actual usage hours. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees, which are separate from this software charge.
No. You pay per instance-hour for the chosen instance type, not per desktop or per user. DCV shares one GPU across many concurrent 3D desktops. Adding more sessions on the same running instance does not change the hourly rate.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
- Make sure the instance security groups allow inbound traffic to TCP and UDP port 8443.
- Configure the instance to have the role to access the license file as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/setting-up-license.html
- Connect to your remote machine with ssh -i <your-pem-key> ec2.user@<public-dns>
- Set the password for the user "ec2-user" with 'sudo passwd ec2-user'. This is the password you will use to log in to DCV.
- Create a DCV virtual session using the command 'dcv create-session --storage-root %home% session1' including file transfer support, 'session1' is the session name
- Connect to your remote machine with the NICE DCV native client for best performance or the web client using https://<public_dns>:8443 with user "ec2-user".
Connecting via QUIC/UDP for highly interactive media remote desktop experience and in case of difficult network conditions is the default. With DCV 2021 and later QUIC/UDP will be used automatically. In the DCV client connection settings you can chose to use TCP as well.
