How to Get Started with Amazon WorkSpaces Applications

If you are using WorkSpaces Applications for the first time, you can use the Try it Now feature or follow the Get Started with Amazon WorkSpaces Applications: Set Up With Sample Applications tutorial (both are available in the WorkSpaces Applications console).

  • Try It Now provides you with a free trial experience that allows you to easily start desktop applications from your desktop browser.

  • The Getting Started tutorial enables you to set up application streaming by using sample applications or your own applications. If you decide to start by using sample applications, you can always add your own applications later.

    For more information about these two options, see Amazon WorkSpaces Applications FAQs.
