Wow! You Can Now Use Ubuntu Desktop on Cloud
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
Looking for a managed Ubuntu virtual desktop session on AWS? Now, it is available to try!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
![Wow! You Can Now Use Ubuntu Desktop on Cloud][1]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Amazon WorkSpaces][2] is a fully managed virtual desktop service that caters to enterprises and individuals looking to eliminate the hassle of maintaining, scaling, and managing specific hardware for work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, they did not have Ubuntu as one of their offerings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, they partnered with Canonical to add an option for Ubuntu-based desktops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Ubuntu as a Managed Virtual Desktop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Amazon WorkSpaces previously had Windows and [Amazon Linux][4]-based machines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is a fully managed VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) service that lets enterprises set up a new virtual desktop in a matter of minutes in a very cost and time-effective manner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Adding Ubuntu as an option should help thousands of developers and enterprises.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Sébastien][5] (**Principal Developer Advocate @AWS**) gives an excellent example of how useful this can be:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is one of the most widely-used Linux distros and should appeal to many developers who use Ubuntu as their primary operating system to carry out development projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It should help DevOps engineers, academic institutions, remote workers, and more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Canonical [mentions][6]:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On launch, they are offering Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 'Jammy Jellyfish'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They have collaborated with [Canonical][9]to optimize the distro for cloud development and included the **AWS CLI and SDK**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### How to Create Ubuntu Amazon WorkSpace?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
![ubuntu amazon workspace][10]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few simple steps are to be followed to create an Ubuntu-based Amazon WorkSpace instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First and foremost, you need to have an existing Amazon VPC server with at least two subnets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, sign in to the [Amazon WorkSpaces console][11], set up an active directory, and add new users with their relevant info.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, on the '**Select Bundle**' page, select one of the 'Ubuntu Linux' options according to your use case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After setup is complete, users will automatically receive an email with all the essential details needed to access the Ubuntu-based Amazon WorkSpace instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, if you are an individual or a small group of developers, you can use the "**Quick Setup**" option in the WorkSpace console to quickly set up an Ubuntu-based virtual desktop.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more details on the installation steps, you can refer to the [official documentation][12] and [AWS's announcement post][13].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Pricing and Availability
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Ubuntu-based Amazon WorkSpace bundle starts from **$23 per month or $0.18 per hour**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pricing changes according to the region, with the cheapest options being 'US West' and 'US East'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ubuntu-based virtual desktops are available across the globe, with servers being made available in the US, Africa, Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, and South America.
