Red Hat has begun promoting the Workstation as a Service product, which allows you to organize remote work with an environment based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Workstations distribution package running in the AWS cloud (Amazon Web Services). A few weeks ago, Canonical introduced a similar ability to run Ubuntu Desktop on the AWS Cloud. As areas of application, the organization of the work of employees from any device and the performance of resource-intensive tasks on older systems that require large GPU and CPU resources, such as 3D rendering or complex data visualization, are mentioned without purchasing new equipment.
AWS remote desktop access can use a regular web browser or desktop client applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS using the NICE DCV protocol. The work is organized through the translation of the screen content to the user's system, all calculations are performed on the server side, including access to the NVIDIA GRID or TESLA GPU for 3D graphics operations. It supports broadcast output with a resolution of up to 4K, the use of up to 4 virtual monitors, touch screen simulation, multi-channel audio transmission, forwarding access to USB devices and smart cards, organizing work with local files.
