Q: Do I need to provide an AMI build using WorkSpaces with SSD EBS volumes when using my own Windows desktop licenses (BYOL)?Ī: No. You can use your custom images to launch WorkSpaces with SSD EBS volumes, even if they were created using WorkSpaces with magnetic EBS volumes. Q: Can I use custom images to launch WorkSpaces with SSD volumes, even if they were created using WorkSpaces with magnetic EBS volumes?Ī: Yes. You can learn more about SSD EBS volumes here, and magnetic EBS volumes here. You can switch your Amazon WorkSpaces using magnetic EBS volumes to SSD EBS volumes by rebuilding them (more information can be found here). Amazon WorkSpaces launched prior to January 31, 2017, are configured with EBS magnetic volumes. Q: What type of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes does Amazon WorkSpaces offer?Ī: All Amazon WorkSpaces launched after January 31, 2017, are built on general purpose solid-state drives (SSD) EBS volumes for both root and user volumes. You can use the copy Image operation to make a copy of the WorkSpaces Image in the same Region. Q: Can I copy an Image to the same Region?Ī: Yes. You can copy a BYOL WorkSpace Image to another AWS Region if the destination AWS Region is enabled for BYOL. Q: Can I copy a BYOL Image to another AWS Region?Ī: Yes. You can use CopyWorkspaceImage API to programmatically copy Images. Q: Can I bulk copy multiple Images to another Region?Ī: You can copy Images one by one to another AWS Region. Once you reach this limit you will not be able to copy more Images. Maximum Image limits for your account in destination AWS Region will still apply. There are no additional fees for copying Images across Regions.

Q: Are there any data transfer fees for copying Images?Ī: No. You can delete the Image in the destination Region if the Image is not required. Q: Can I cancel a pending Image copy operation?Ī: Once initiated, you cannot cancel a pending Image copy operation. You can use that identifier to look up the status of that Image in the destination Region through the WorkSpaces console, APIs, or CLI. Q: How can I tell if the Image I copied is available for me to use?Ī: As soon as you initiate a copy operation, you will be provided a unique identifier for the new Image being created as a copy of the original one. Simply select the image you would like to copy, click on the “ Actions” button and select the “ Copy Image” option to get started. Log on to the WorkSpaces console and navigate to the “ Images” section from the left hand navigation menu. Q: Can I copy my Amazon WorkSpaces Images to other AWS Regions?Ī: Yes, you can use the WorkSpaces console, APIs, or CLI to copy your WorkSpaces Images to other AWS Regions where WorkSpaces is available.
