Amazon AppStream Connector
Overview
This Amazon AppStream Connector allows you to integrate with the Amazon AppStream service on AWS.
Amazon AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application streaming service that provides users with instant access to their desktop applications from anywhere. AppStream 2.0 manages the AWS resources required to host and run your applications, scales automatically, and provides access to your users on demand. AppStream 2.0 provides users access to the applications they need on the device of their choice, with a responsive, fluid user experience that is indistinguishable from natively installed applications.
With AppStream 2.0, you can easily add your existing desktop applications to AWS and enable your users to instantly stream them. Windows users can use either the AppStream 2.0 client or an HTML5-capable web browser for application streaming. You can maintain a single version of each of your applications, which makes application management easier. Your users always access the latest versions of their applications. Your applications run on AWS compute resources, and data is never stored on users' devices, which means they always get a high performance, secure experience.
The Amazon AppStream Connector provides the following actions:
- Describe Fleets
- Start Fleet
- Stop Fleet
