You can now access your HAQM WorkSpaces through Chrome and Firefox web browsers, using a new feature called HAQM WorkSpaces Web Access. Web Access establishes a secure connection to your HAQM WorkSpace from the browser, giving you safe access to your cloud desktop from almost anywhere you can connect to the public internet, all without having to install a client.

As an IT administrator, you can use the AWS Management Console to enable or disable the ability to use Web Access to your HAQM WorkSpaces. Web Access supports recent versions of Chrome and Firefox browsers running on Windows, Max OS X, and Linux operating systems, and it’s available in all regions where you can provision HAQM WorkSpaces. All new HAQM WorkSpaces will come with Web Access. Web Access for existing HAQM WorkSpaces will be enabled after a rebuild. If you use custom images, you need to refresh them, then rebuild your HAQM WorkSpaces to use Web Access. Accessing your HAQM WorkSpaces using Web Access does not incur any additional charges.
