EUCCOST03-BP02 Use a self-service portal to request your ITSM

Instead of enabling self-service capabilities for your users, use a self-service portal to allow users to request resources, or enable workflow-based request for EUC resources with your ITSM. This gives you better control and limits the exposure to unforeseen cost increases.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: Low

Implementation guidance

Consider implementing a self-service portal to request WorkSpaces or changes to your existing WorkSpaces, like running mode, bundle, or storage. A self-service portal can allow your users to provision and terminate their EUC services as required. For an example for Amazon WorkSpaces, see Creating a self-service portal for Amazon WorkSpaces end users

Additionally, consider using your ITSM solution to enable workflow-based requests for new WorkSpaces or changes to existing WorkSpaces, like running mode, bundle, or storage. For examples of integrating with ServiceNow, see How to enable self-service Amazon WorkSpaces by using Service Catalog Connector for ServiceNow and Managing Amazon WorkSpaces by integrating Service Catalog with ServiceNow.
