Last updated 6 months ago

At this stage, you'll launch the custom AMI shared by Nuvens to deploy WorkSpaces Manager. The AMI is based on Windows Server 2019 and includes two volumes:

  • C:\ with 75GB of storage

  • D:\ with 20GB of storage

When deploying WorkSpaces Manager from a shared AMI, ensure that you use the newly created Security Group and the appropriate EC2 instance profile with the correct policies attached. This setup will grant the instance the necessary permissions to interact with AWS services, while the Security Group ensures proper network access and security.

For a real-world example of how to deploy an AMI via Terraform, please check this repository below for guidance and best practices:
