Welcome

AWS Systems Manager GUI Connect, a component of Fleet Manager, lets you connect to your Window Server-type Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). GUI Connect, which is powered by Amazon DCV, provides you with secure connectivity to your Windows Server instances directly from the Systems Manager console. You can have up to four simultaneous connections in a single browser window. In the console, GUI Connect is also referred to as Fleet Manager Remote Desktop.
