https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/google-drive.html Hi as Appstream 2.0 and Workspaces Pools are similar. Is this something we can Install / Enable on Workspaces Pools to avoid having to use Google Drive for Desktop? (Worried about Google Drive for Desktop filling up the 5gb Application Persistence storage)
s
While they are similar, I wouldn't say all AS2 features are supported on Pools and as a matter of fact most are not. Also, Application Settings Persistence shouldn't be used in traditional VDI deployments, that's more of a single hosted application/ISV use case.

Thanks Stephen, does that mean we should be looking to implement FSLogix instead? Application Persistence was a checkbox on the Pools Setup.
s
Yes, for almost every scenario where you're running a desktop workload our best practice is to use FSLogix user profile containers

ASP is useful in PoCs and ISV use cases, but once you start scaling a desktop workload there is almost no chance 5 GB will be enough space for AppData

Thanks, for cost reasons would it be best to have FSLogix user profile containers in the same account as the workload? We have a FsX Netapp in a different account we could use. Is there a best practice document. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/desktop-and-application-streaming/use-amazon-fsx-and-fs[…]ize-application-settings-persistence-on-amazon-appstream-2-0/ I found this , is it the best one to follow?

That will do, and there's no difference in cost whether it's in the same account or a different account
