    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.

    Version release notes

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    Launch the image on any of the available instance types. Consider changing the size of the root EBS volume. Make sure that the attached security group allows traffic on port 80 and 443 if you plan to access the server via the browser interface, and port 3389 if you plan to use the Remote Desktop Protocol. Allow a couple of minutes for the instance to boot.

    The web interface can be accessed through your browser on the public IP (or private IP for enterprise VPCs) of the EC2 instance (e.g. https://18.245.21.43  where 18.245.21.43 is the public IP address of the instance).

    Most browsers will display a certificate warning. This warning is letting you know that the certificate was self-signed instead of signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. You can safely ignore the warning as it doesn't impact the security of the connection by clicking on "Continue to this webpage" (Internet Explorer) or "Advanced" and then "Proceed to website" (Chrome).

    The default user is ubuntu and the default password is the instance ID.

    Alternatively, you can reach your desktop environment through a Remote Desktop Client (such as the Microsoft Remote Desktop Application, preinstalled on Windows and available on the Apple App Store for MacOS). The hostname is simply the public IP (or private IP for enterprise VPCs). Make sure you enter the username and password before you connect. On Windows, click "Show Options" and fill in the username and password.

    After trying a few self installs of xrdp server with amazon EC2 instance and failed RDP connections from Linux Mint 20 followed advice for the market place AMI.
    Ready made systems installed that allows us to spend our time and focus on other important things. Certainly does what they say creates a remote desktop connection to in my instance a Linux Ubuntu 20 server.
    Not being proficient enough in Linux Terminal commands this is good.

    - log in to the instance via browser
    - open the local browser
    - Test the PageSpeed ​​with the most popular extensions

    Too unstable for everyday work

    Purchase verified by AWS

    This review refers to the current version at time of writing, 1.2.1.
    Keeps dropping the connection in both windows RDP as well browser RDP mode. Once this happens, it goes into infinite loop with no possibility of logging in and the instance needs to be restarted with loss of time and productivity.

    Good idea, but needs more stability.

    great desktop environment for data science work

    The in-browser rdp client works surprisingly well and the in-browser terminal makes an ssh connection obsolete which is great because it's blocked at our company. Got the jupyter notebook up and running and now use this workspace almost exclusively instead of my laptop.
