Simplify Desktop Delivery

Amazon WorkSpaces helps you eliminate many administrative tasks associated with managing your desktop lifecycle including provisioning, deploying, maintaining, and recycling desktops. There is less hardware inventory to manage and no need for complex virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployments that don’t scale.

Reduce Costs

Amazon WorkSpaces eliminates the need to over-buy desktop and laptop resources by providing on-demand access to cloud desktops that include a range of compute, memory, and storage resources to meet your users' performance needs.

Keep Your Data Secure

Amazon WorkSpaces is deployed within an Amazon Virtual Private Network (VPC), provide each user with access to persistent, encrypted storage volumes in the AWS Cloud, and integrate with AWS Key Management Service (KMS). No user data is stored on the local device. This helps improve the security of user data and reduces your overall risk surface area.

Centrally Manage and Scale Your Global Desktop Deployment

Amazon WorkSpaces is available in 13 AWS Regions and provides access to high performance cloud desktops wherever your teams get work done. You can manage a global deployment of many thousands of WorkSpaces from the AWS console. And you can rapidly provision and de-provision desktops as the needs of your workforce change.

Use cases

Provide secure cloud desktops for remote, mobile, and contract employees

The rapid growth of remote and mobile workers is placing pressure on IT to provide fast, easy access to corporate applications and data from the device of their choice. Amazon WorkSpaces helps mobile and remote employees access the applications users need by delivering a cloud desktop accessible anywhere with an internet connection using any supported device.

Enable bring your own device

To deliver on the promise of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives, IT must ensure employees can easily and securely access their applications and data across a large and constantly changing number of devices. Amazon WorkSpaces lets you run a cloud desktop directly on a wide range of devices like PC, Mac, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android tablet, Chromebook, and web browsers like Firefox, and Chrome. This gives you the tools to deliver a secure, responsive desktop experience that will delight your users and help make your BYOD initiative a reality.

Rapidly provision and scale desktops for software test and development

Developers and test teams need access to a secure, high-performance WorkSpace for completing tasks without the expense and inventory that comes with a lot of over-provisioned physical hardware. You can provision Amazon WorkSpaces that includes all the tools your developers need to build applications quickly. Your source code is not stored on developers’ devices helping ensure the safety of your intellectual property.

Quickly provision persistent desktops for classroom and lab settings

Amazon WorkSpaces provides a full, persistent desktop that students can use throughout their education while Amazon AppStream 2.0 lets course instructors quickly deliver specific applications for the unique needs for their class. Used together, you can easily build the learning environment your students need and ensure students have what they need for your class from day one.

Rapid integration during mergers and acquisitions

Companies going through M&A activity must support quickly on-boarding or off-loading large numbers of employees with fast, easy, secure access to company applications and data. They must do so across a diverse set of devices without spending much money or going through lengthy complex integrations. With Amazon WorkSpaces, IT teams quickly can provision and decommission secure WorkSpaces to keep up with changing organizational structures.

Customer stories

The Amazon Client Engineering team manages and supports IT services within Amazon and is responsible for managing the company's devices. As Amazon brings on new subsidiaries, it saves money that would previously have been used for physical infrastructure.

“We save millions of dollars for every subsidiary we onboard, because Amazon WorkSpaces can be deployed in many different regions and the solution circumvents the need for physical logistics like shipping hardware and the buildout of network connections. Overall, Amazon WorkSpaces is expected to contribute to an annual savings of more than $17 million for Amazon across all use cases.”

– Andrew Blackard, Manager, Client Engineering, Amazon IT

GrubHub, Inc. is a billion dollar food-service online and mobile platform featuring the largest and most comprehensive network of restaurant partners in the US. As an essential business to support local restaurants, GrubHub leveraged Amazon WorkSpaces to ensure business continuity and support the safety of our employees by moving all departments to a Work From Home (WFH) model.

'Amazon WorkSpaces easily accommodated our real-time customer communication and contact channels allowing 100% of our workforce and new employees to be WFH, accelerating our BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategy. GrubHub now has the flexibility to control cost and scale this virtual desktop environment to meet the current needs and future needs of our customers, restaurant partners, and drivers for whatever comes next.'

- Justinian Fortenberry, Chief Information Security Officer

MAXIMUS partners with state, federal, and local governments to provide communities with critical health and human service programs. MAXIMUS used Amazon WorkSpaces to replace their on-premises VDI infrastructure and accelerate their adoption to the cloud.

“MAXIMUS uses VDI for several different types of projects, including call centers and for remote users. MAXIMUS is currently going through a move to AWS for all IT services, so it was natural that we utilize WorkSpaces to replace our VDI infrastructure. We were having many issues with VDI backend server support, workstations, and many complaints from users about software configurations. With WorkSpaces, we were able to release ourselves from all of the backend maintenance and concentrate on the user experience.”

- Jason Winters, Principal Architect, MAXIMUS, IT.

A Visual Studio Code 'workspace' is the collection of one or more folders that are opened in a VS Code window (instance). In most cases, you will have a single folder opened as the workspace but, depending on your development workflow, you can include more than one folder, using an advanced configuration called Multi-root workspaces.

The concept of a workspace enables VS Code to:

• Configure settings that only apply to a specific folder or folders but not others.
• Persist task and debugger launch configurations that are only valid in the context of that workspace.
• Store and restore UI state associated with that workspace (for example, the files that are opened).
• Selectively enable or disable extensions only for that workspace.

You may see the terms 'folder' and 'workspace' used interchangeably in VS Code documentation, issues, and community discussions. Think of a workspace as the root of a project that has extra VS Code knowledge and capabilities.

Workspaces Google

Note: It is also possible to open VS Code without a workspace. For example, when you open a new VS Code window by selecting a file from your platform's File menu, you will not be inside a workspace. In this mode, some of VS Code's capabilities are reduced but you can still open text files and edit them.

How do I open a VS Code 'workspace'?

The easiest way to open a workspace is using the File menu and selecting one of the available folder entries for opening. Alternatively if you launch VS Code from a terminal, you can pass the path to a folder as the first argument to the code command for opening.

Single-folder workspaces

You don't have to do anything for a folder to become a VS Code workspace other than open the folder with VS Code. Once a folder has been opened, VS Code will automatically keep track of things such as your open files and editor layout so the editor will be as you left it when you reopen that folder. You can also add other folder-specific configurations such as workspace-specific settings (versus global user settings), task definitions, and debugging launch files (see below in the workspace settings section).

Multi-root workspaces

Multi-root workspaces are an advanced capability of VS Code that allows you to configure multiple distinct folders to be part of the workspace. Instead of opening a folder as workspace, you will open a <name>.code-workspace JSON file that lists the folders of the workspace. For example:

A multi-root workspace opened in VS Code

Note: The visual difference of having a folder opened versus opening a .code-workspace file can be subtle. To give you a hint that a .code-workspace file has been opened, some areas of the user interface (for example, the root of the File Explorer) show an extra (Workspace) suffix next to the name.

Untitled multi-root workspaces

It is easy to add or remove folders in your workspace. You can start off by opening a folder in VS Code and then later add more folders as you see fit. Unless you already have opened a .code-workspace file, the first time you add a second folder to a workspace, VS Code will automatically create an 'untitled' workspace. In the background, VS Code automatically maintains a untitled.code-workspace file for you that contains all of the folders and workspace settings from your current session. The workspace will remain 'untitled' until you decide to save it to disk.

An untitled multi-root workspace opened in VS Code

Note: There is really no difference between an untitled workspace and a saved workspace other than the fact that an untitled workspace is automatically created for you for your convenience and will always restore until you save it. We automatically delete untitled workspaces (after asking you for confirmation) when you close a window in which an untitled workspace is opened.

Workspace settings

Workspace settings enable you to configure settings in the context of the workspace you have opened and always override global user settings. They are physically stored in a JSON file and their location depends on whether you opened a folder as a workspace or you opened a .code-workspace file.

Refer to the settings documentation for a comprehensive explanation of setting scopes and their file locations.

Single-folder workspace settings

Workspace settings will be stored in .vscode/settings.json when you open a folder as workspace.

The Settings editor when a folder is opened as workspace

Multi-root workspace settings

When you open a .code-workspace as workspace, all workspace settings will be added into the .code-workspace file.

You can still configure settings per root folder and the Settings editor will present a third setting scope called Folder Settings:

The Settings editor when a multi-root workspace is opened

Settings configured per folder will override settings defined in the .code-workspace.

Workspace tasks and launch configurations

Similar to how workspace settings are specific to a workspace, tasks and launch configurations can also be scoped to a workspace. Depending on whether you have a folder opened as workspace or a .code-workspace file, the location of workspace task and launch configurations will either be inside the .vscode folder or inside the .code-workspace file. In addition, task and launch configurations can always be defined at the level of a folder, even when you have opened a .code-workspace file.

Refer to tasks and debugging chapters for a more comprehensive overview of how to use tasks and launch configurations in VS Code.

Common questions

What is the benefit of multi-root workspace over a folder?

The most obvious advantage is that a multi-root workspace allows you to work with multiple projects that may not be stored inside the same parent folder on disk. You can pick folders from anywhere to add to the workspace.

Even if you are mainly working in a single-folder-based project, you can benefit from using .code-workspace files. You can store multiple .code-workspace files inside the folder to provide a scoped folder-view of certain aspects of the project depending on the scenario (for example client.code-workspace, server.code-workspace to filter out unrelated folders from the File Explorer). Since .code-workspace files support relative paths for the folders section, these workspace files will work for everyone independent of where the folder is stored.

Workspaces

Finally, if for some projects you want to apply the same set of workspace settings or tasks/launch configurations, consider adding these into a .code-workspace file and add/remove these folders from that workspace.

Why is VS Code restoring all untitled workspaces on a restart?

Untitled workspaces are designed to be something you must explicitly decide to keep or not. The first time an untitled workspace is created, VS Code adds the specified folders into the workspace file and also all existing workspace settings. This user data is always restored and displayed in a VS Code window until the untitled workspace is saved or deleted.

How do I delete an untitled workspace?

You can delete an untitled workspace by closing its window and dismissing the prompt to save the untitled workspace.

Can I use a multi-root workspace without folders

Workspaces By Hilton

It is possible to leave the folders section of a .code-workspace file empty so that you end up with an instance of VS Code that does not show any root folders. You can still store workspace settings and even tasks or launch configurations in this case.

Does VS Code support projects or solutions?

Workspaces Ga

VS Code doesn't have the concept of a 'project' or 'solution' as they are sometimes defined in other development tools, for example Visual Studio IDE. You may see the term 'project' used in VS Code documentation but it usually means 'the thing you're working on'. Depending on your programming language or framework, the toolset itself may support something called a 'project' to help define build configurations or enumerate included files.
