There are certain applications in media industry that we use it for which are only on either Windows or Linux platform. And we use MacBook pro for our office and laptop. So for those applications, we use Workspace.

We just create a computer on the cloud, then create a visual desktop VDI, and set a connection, username, and password. That user connects to the VDI machine on AWS with very limited access to a static application, and then they start to work for that company. When a company terminates the agent, it can then terminate the VDR and create a new VDR for the new agent.

It's on a remote desktop. Currently, we need to operate on physical laptops and physical desktops. For organizational purposes, everything will be on the Cloud. In that cloud environment, we will use AWS, which is a cloud environment. 

In that cloud environment, we will create one virtual machine that has the credentials for working professionals. Working users will simply need to log on to their laptops or systems. They need to connect to that particular virtual machine, the Amazon WorkSpaces virtual machine, with their own credentials. They need to do all office-related work. Everything will be inside that workspace only. Safe and secure.

We are a work-from-home company, permanently working from home. Sometimes our employees face issues with their laptops. So we configure Amazon WorkSpaces for them, and they download the Amazon WorkSpace client on their computer, then log in to that. The solution provides our employees with a virtual desktop environment. We use Amazon WorkSpaces as an alternative to laptops.

Amazon WorkSpaces is a virtual desktop platform. So, instead of having your laptops, and desktops, you can have your data on the cloud. Also, it is a scalable solution. So you need not have to install the OS and update the patches. All those will be taken care of by Amazon or whoever is the public platform holding, and we don't have to worry about such things. You can access it over the webmail, or you can access all the browsers or the web client on the laptop.

We have a lot of cases with Amazon WorkSpaces, including one where we rolled it out for more than 180 users on the cloud in a span of two days, and for this, we used the solution as a remote tool. So, it is a great solution. Also, it is a very secure tool.

Sometimes for security purposes in AWS, I need to log the IPs. So I use WorkSpaces to ensure it doesn't disrupt my work. AWS has a lot of IPs, and using WorkSpaces helps me with that.
