perfect when used with TeamViewer
Remoting GPU accelerated desktop from AWS instance:
using RDP at first to install TeamViewer inside the instance, and set it to start automatically ("Add this computer"). If you add the instance to your list of "Computers" in Teamviewer keychain, then you get notified when your VM desktop is up. A simple double click and you land directly on your AWS GPU accelerated desktop. You then have no worries with any of the RDP and VNC apps anymore, since they will be never used again. The nice thing is that the MAC address of the AWS instance does not change. So TeamViewer will always be available and working each time the instance starts up.
The whole experience then becomes really simple and seamless, and performs really well.
