AWS Workspaces - A Guided Deployment for Emergency Remote Desktops

For April, our Meetup will again be virtual as we continue with COVID-19 precautions.

AWS Workspaces - A Guided Deployment for Emergency Remote Work and Business Continuity Desktops
Thursday April 16, 2020 12pm-1:00pm CST

For this month's meetup we'll perform a step-by-step, guided setup of an Amazon Workspace remote desktop, tailored to the concern of rapidly standing up critical remote functions for your team members. AWS is making available up to 50 Workspaces per organization at no charge in an effort to ease remote working transitions during the pandemic. In addition to our demonstration, a Workspaces engineer from AWS will be on hand to address your questions on this service. For more information on this offer: https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=3
