At re:Invent 2013, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced Amazon WorkSpaces, a fully managed desktop computing service in the cloud that enables end-users to access the documents, applications, and resources they need with the devices of their choice, including laptops, iPads, Kindle Fires, and Android tablets. The potential success of Amazon WorkSpaces will hinge on the initial experiences customers have consuming a desktop from the cloud related to its performance, usability, security, and overall end-user experience. In order for this to be successful, AWS’s new offering has to quickly transition from proven technology to a solid execution path that engages tightly with its customers.
