Desktop and Application Streaming

This blog post walks you through the configuration of deploying a multi-Region AppStream 2.0 workload that can automatically direct users to the AppStream 2.0 Region with the lowest latency for streaming sessions when connecting with a third-party SAML 2.0 identity provider. If the AppStream 2.0 deployment they use for their role is tied to a […]

You can setup cross-Region redirection with services like Geo Targetly to automatically redirect HAQM AppStream 2.0 users to the AppStream stacks that are closest to their current location. If the AppStream 2.0 deployment they use for their role is tied to a specific Region, users can experience high latency when traveling far distances from the […]

HAQM AppStream 2.0 supports identity federation to AppStream 2.0 stacks through Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0). This feature offers your users the convenience of access to their AppStream 2.0 applications using their existing identity credentials. You also have the security benefit of identity authentication by your IdP. By using your IdP, you can […]

Customers ask how they can automate copying HAQM WorkSpaces custom images between AWS Regions. Common use cases for synchronizing custom HAQM WorkSpaces images between Regions include: Consistency for multi-Region deployments: Multi-region deployments of HAQM WorkSpaces allow WorkSpaces to be deployed for user who need low-latency connection to a specific geographic area. One custom image with […]

In this post, we will show you how to use HAQM AppStream 2.0 to provide a non-persistent, secure desktop streaming solution for your HAQM Connect agents, and optimize call audio direct to the agent’s local system. Contact centers need the flexibility to enable agents, regardless of their physical location and endpoint, to access services securely. This […]

Solution overview The steps to work through this blog are: Configure OneLogin RADIUS for use with HAQM WorkSpaces. Configure Active Directory Connector for MFA. Test logon. Prerequisites: This post assumes you have the following. A OneLogin account. OneLogin Active Directory […]

Customers use HAQM AppStream 2.0 to centrally manage applications and stream them to their end users. Organizations have multiple stacks associated with different fleets to separate workloads based on underlying resources, applications, or different user permissions. Administrators want a way to manage permissions for multiple stacks without having to create an IAM identity provider for […]

Our colleague Chaim Landau at the AWS Security Blog recently published a blog on how to use HAQM AppStream 2.0 to reduce your bastion host attack surface. Read his post to learn how AppStream 2.0 helps expose only the necessary tools system administrators need, and minimizes internet exposure for your bastion host. – Murali Rathinasamy, […]

Customers are increasing adoption of container technologies, and Docker is one of the most popular providers. With containers, developers can ensure that application modules are self-contained, runtime environments are agnostic, and external dependencies are well documented. This is especially important as more enterprises adopt DevOps principles and deploy microservices. Developers are looking for speed, flexibility, […]
