Anyone familiar with AWS App Stream compared to other remoting protocols?

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/desktop-and-application-streaming/bring-your-app-v-packages-to-appstream-2-0-with-the-dynamic-application-framework/ For Appstream 2.0 do many customers do this with their App-V packages, if you are using App-V User based publishing will the AWS Apps page dynamically generate for the user? Does it take a long time to appear? Are any customers using App-V with e.g. Appventix to do user based publishing with Dynamic Application Framework. As App-V Full Infrastructure goes end of support April 2026 If this works well could reduce the numbers of images required for us, and save installing all the apps on the image builder. Currently on a single gold image on-prem Citrix PVS non persistent environment at the moment with App-V Full Infrastructure, but hesitant to move that to AWS. Any plans on a blog post on how this Dynamic Application Framework would work with e.g. MSIX ?

What are the chances that AWS will re-start the development of the ChromeOS App https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/amazon-workspaces/ipaonomeflaallpcgnhcaoonfghaojha?hl=en-GB considering Citrix and Omnissa are still developing their ChromeOS app, as opposed to the Android one. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/userguide/amazon-workspaces-android-client.html#android-release-notes Note Version 2.4.13 is the final release of the Amazon WorkSpaces Chromebook client application. Because Google is phasing out support for Chrome Apps, there will be no further updates to the WorkSpaces Chromebook client application, and its use is unsupported.

On ChromeOS Google Admin Console I created a PWA for Workspaces Pools using "https://webclient.amazonworkspaces.com/?registrationCode=<REGISTRATION_CODE>" as the URL, seems to work ok!

While it's certainly not the majority of non-persistent desktop use-cases, with the excitement around generative AI I'm noticing a trend with short term use of graphics instances and Linux. Sometimes you need to grant them the ability to issue sudo commands so the users can install LLMs, for example.

We are seeing an issue on Workspaces Pools with *certificate-based Authentication (*CBA) enabled that published Citrix XenApp apps to the Start Menu of the Workspaces Pools desktop launch but get a message "The user name or password is incorrect. Try again". If I turn off CBA, and log in to the desktop with AD credentials it works ok. I found an Citrix article https://support.citrix.com/s/article/CTX289690-unable-to-start-session-in-double-hop-environment?language=en_US that has a similar issue that mentions FAS, we don't have FAS deployed in our Citrix envionment. Is it required to get it to work? Wasn't sure whether anyone else has encountered this?
