Introduction
Amazon AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application streaming service that provides access to desktop applications from anywhere and any device. This access provides a responsive user experience that is indistinguishable from natively installed applications.
AppStream 2.0 has the following capabilities:
- Manages the AWS resources required to host and run your applications.
- Scales automatically.
- Provides access to your users on demand.
With AppStream 2.0, you can:
- Add your existing desktop applications to AWS.
- Enable your users to instantly stream them.
Windows users can use either the AppStream 2.0 client or an HTML5-capable web browser for application streaming which results in a consistently high performance and secure experience. On Windows:
- You can maintain a single version of each of your applications, which makes application management easier.
- Your users always access the latest versions of their applications.
- Your applications run on AWS compute resources where the data is never stored on users' devices.
