WorkSpaces Web
💡 Definition
Amazon WorkSpaces Web is a low-cost, fully managed workspace built specifically to facilitate secure, web-based access to internal corporate websites and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications from existing web browsers.
🔑 Key Concepts
- Secure Browser: Provides a secure browser environment in the cloud.
- Isolation: Protects the corporate network from the user's device (and vice versa).
- Zero-Trust: Helps implement zero-trust network access.
⚙️ How it Works
Users navigate to a URL. They are authenticated. They get a secure browser session running in AWS that can access internal company sites (intranet, admin panels) that are not exposed to the public internet.
🎯 Use Cases
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device): Employees accessing internal tools from personal devices securely.
- Vendor Access: Giving partners access to specific internal web apps.
💰 Pricing Model
- Monthly: Flat fee per monthly active user.
