Amazon Web Services announces the availability of AlwaysOn running mode for WorkSpaces Pools, designed for customers who want their streaming to start right away. With AlwaysOn mode, users will have their virtual desktop session provisioned in seconds, allowing them to be productive immediately. Customers can now choose between AlwaysOn running mode and the currently available AutoStop mode, which only bills an hourly usage fee when a customer logs into their session. With AutoStop, streaming starts after a short amount of start-up time, but customers can better optimize on cost for unused instances. Amazon WorkSpaces Pools enables customers to reduce costs by sharing a pool of virtual desktops across a group of users who get a fresh desktop every time they log in. With application settings being saved in a central storage repository, simplified management via a single console and set of clients, the ability to support Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and the new running mode options, WorkSpaces Pools offer the flexibility customers expect. AlwaysOn for WorkSpaces Pools is now available in all regions where WorkSpaces Pools is supported. For pricing information, visit Amazon WorkSpaces Pricing.
