    Usage instructions

    1. Make sure the instance security groups allow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443 and 22.
    2. 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 
    3. Connect to your remote machine with ssh -i <your-pem-key> centos@<public-dns>
    4. Set the password for the user "centos" with 'sudo passwd centos'. This is the password you will use to log in to DCV.
    5. Create a DCV virtual session using the command 'dcv create-session --storage-root %home% session1' including file transfer support, 'session1' is the session name (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/managing-sessions.html )

    Please note: you can start different concurrent remote desktop sessions for different users which makes DCV a very efficient remote desktop technology. With DCV 2022 QUIC/UDP will be used automatically together with the new DCV client. In the DCV client connection settings you can select TCP as well.

    Not working out-of-the-box, crashing session

    Reviewed on Sep 26, 2021
    Purchase verified by AWS

    Deployed on recommended infrastructure and followed the instructions, yet the session seems to be crashing constantly, complaiing about libcuda.so.1...

    How could it be that the product that is marked in its name as "no GPU" actually requires NVIDIA infrastructure...
