Question #1423
A company is transitioning to a fully remote workforce and requires employees to have persistent, customizable desktop environments accessible from any device, including Windows and Linux laptops. The solution must support installed applications and maintain user-specific configurations. Which AWS service best meets these requirements?
Amazon WorkSpaces
Amazon AppStream 2.0
Amazon DynamoDB
AWS Cloud9
Explanation
Amazon WorkSpaces (A) is the correct answer because it offers managed virtual desktops that are persistent, allowing users to retain their configurations, installed applications, and settings across sessions. This aligns with the requirement for customizable environments accessible from any device.
AppStream 2.0 (B) streams applications but does not provide full persistent desktop environments. DynamoDB (C) is a NoSQL database unrelated to desktop solutions. AWS Cloud9 (D) is a cloud-based IDE, not a full desktop environment. WorkSpaces uniquely meets the need for persistent, user-specific desktops with application support.
Answer
The correct answer is: A
