Does the most simple thing - works.
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.
Excellent
This is a great package at a reasonable cost, very easy to use with lots of services and relative flexibility.
Very good tool to test page speed from other locations
We use this tool to test under real conditions the PageSpeed of our website from other AWS location.
It's that easy:
- Start up the instance
- log in to the instance via browser
- open the local browser
- Test the PageSpeed with the most popular extensions
Unreservedly recommend
Too unstable for everyday work
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.
