Sandra, who works for SecAppSol Technologies, is on a vacation.

Amazon AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application streaming service that allows users to access desktop applications from anywhere, making it the service that enabled Sandra to access her office laptop applications remotely. Here’s how it works:

Application Hosting: AppStream 2.0 hosts desktop applications on AWS and streams them to a web browser or a connected device.

Secure Access: Users can access these applications securely from any location, as the service provides a secure streaming session.

Resource Optimization: It eliminates the need for high-end user hardware since the processing is done on AWS servers.

Central Management: The organization can manage applications centrally, which simplifies software updates and security.

Integration: AppStream 2.0 integrates with existing identity providers and supports standard security protocols.
