Amazon WorkSpaces Core announces monthly pricing for managed instances

Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances Flexible Billing

AWS introduces flexible billing for Amazon WorkSpaces Core managed instances, offering both monthly flat-rate and hourly billing options. This allows customers to select the optimal pricing model based on their usage patterns. Monthly billing is best for predictable full-time desktops, while hourly billing suits variable usage. Both options are pay-as-you-go with no long-term commitments.

Key Benefits

• Predictable Costs: Monthly billing provides cost predictability for persistent desktop workloads.
• Flexibility: Ability to mix hourly and monthly billing within the same deployment.
• Simplified Pricing: Hourly utility rates for WorkSpaces Core managed instances are now combined and billed by Amazon WorkSpaces.

What to do

• Review your usage patterns to determine the best billing option.
• Integrate with new WorkSpaces API billing features for monthly billing.
• Visit the WorkSpaces for VDI partners pricing page for more information.
