Amazon WorkSpaces Personal Enhancements

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now provides an enhanced experience for administrators migrating WorkSpaces from PCoIP to DCV protocol, including a guided console action for protocol modification, checkpoint snapshots for rollback support, and session blocking during migration.

Amazon DCV is a high-performance streaming protocol built by AWS that powers Amazon WorkSpaces services. By migrating to DCV, customers gain access to broader operating system support including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025, enhanced security features such as certificate-based authentication and WebAuthN, and improved streaming performance.

What to do

  • Sign in to the Amazon WorkSpaces console to start the migration process.
  • Refer to the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide for detailed instructions on modifying protocols.
  • Visit the Amazon WorkSpaces product page for more information about the service.

These enhancements are available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is supported.
