  • GeneralPurpose.8xlarge delivers 32 virtual cores and 128GB memory plus 275GB storage
  • This is far cheaper than Azure or Google Cloud, but more expensive than onprem if you plan to keep it for 6 months or more
  • You will – of course – need a separate computer to access that virtual workstation

AWS has expanded its WorkSpaces desktop-as-a-service offering with the introduction of two new workstation-grade instance types.

The company says these new instances will provide its customers with powerful cloud desktops for resource-intensive Windows workloads.
