AWS announces GeneralPurpose.4xlarge and GeneralPurpose.8xlarge bundles for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal and Amazon WorkSpaces Core, providing customers with powerful cloud desktops for resource-intensive Windows workloads.
GeneralPurpose.4xlarge bundles offer 16vCPUs and 64 GB RAM, while GeneralPurpose.8xlarge bundles provide 32vCPUs and 128 GB RAM. Both bundles include a 175GB root volume and a 100GB user volume and are available on WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Core. These new large bundles are designed to allow developers, scientists, financial analysts, and engineers to run demanding applications with ease. Developers can handle large compilation and development tasks with tools like Visual Studio, IntelliJ, and Eclipse, while engineers and scientists can run complex simulations with MatLab, GNU Octave, R, and Stata. With pay-as-you-go pricing and on-demand scaling, these bundles offer an efficient alternative to costly physical workstations.
The new General Purpose bundles are available today in AWS Regions where WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Core are offered, except Africa (Cape Town) and Israel (Tel Aviv). They support Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11 through BYOL options. You can launch these bundles through the Amazon WorkSpaces Console, or via APIs. To get started, sign in to the Amazon WorkSpaces Management Console. For pricing details, visit Amazon WorkSpaces Personal pricing or Amazon WorkSpaces Core pricing.
