Alteryx Designer on Amazon WorkSpaces

The document below outlines a deployment framework for Alteryx Designer on AWS WorkSpaces. This deployment framework provides similar benefits to VDI and VM deployments. However, WorkSpaces offers a thin client, purpose-built for streaming and hosting applications rather than remote machines.

WorkSpaces is an AWS End User Computing (EUC) service that can be configured for SaaS application streaming or delivery of virtual desktops with selective persistence. When WorkSpaces is used for virtual desktops, saved files and application settings persist across user sessions, and a fresh virtual desktop is assigned to the user each time they sign in. WorkSpaces works with Amazon WorkSpaces Thin Client for cost-effective, easy-to-manage, secure access to virtual desktops that improve end-user and IT staff productivity.

WorkSpaces offers multi-session capability, allowing you to provision multiple user sessions on a single WorkSpaces instance. This enables you to optimize resource utilization and reduce costs, supporting a wide range of user types without over-provisioning.
