Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now offers support for Ubuntu Pro 24.04 LTS on Elastic fleets, enabling Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and central IT organizations to stream Ubuntu desktop applications to users while leveraging the flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of the AWS Cloud.

Amazon WorkSpaces Applications is a fully managed, secure desktops and applications streaming service that provides users with instant access to their desktops and applications from anywhere. Within Amazon WorkSpaces Applications, Elastic fleet is a server less fleet type that lets you stream desktop applications to your end users from an AWS-managed pool of streaming instances without needing to predict usage, create and manage scaling policies, or create an image.
