With Workspaces Core, at which point do I get my image to be fully configured? I took a base win11 with the VDA, copied to S3, and imported to EC2 as an AMI so it can be used in workspaces. Do I create an EC2 instance and get it to be my "gold" image and then use that for workspaces? Or do I create a workspace deployment and load off of that? There have been so many changes and feature adds, the documentation doesn't seem to be able to keep up. Also, does workspaces/citrix join the machine to the domain when it provisions machines? I would think I need to have the machine domain joined if I want to use CM to load apps I want on the image and to ensure users can install more. Anyone have any good blogs on workspaces core (Citrix)?

We have a playlist that currently aligns with Citrix's documentation, but this YouTube video likes answers your questions about image management -

Note this is all centered on persistent, personal desktops and not the new release with support for MCS non-persistent deployments. That is a different architecture, so keep that in mind.
