@Stephen Stetler BIG NEWS? https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/02/amazon-ec2-nested-virtualization-on-virtual/ Can I now use Hyper-V to sequence applications with MSIX and APP-V on a EC2 instance, Would it work on a Workspaces Personal Machine?
s
They mention EC2. You cannot pick m8i in Workspaces Core, only in Workspaces Core Managed Instances.
s
So... as @Steven Lemonier mentioned, it's scoped for 8th generation EC2 but other generations soon to follow, like 7th generation which we have some WorkSpaces migrated to. I want to stress, even when those instance families get the underlying support from EC2, we still need to work out the WorkSpaces enablement piece - not huge, but a certain amount of work to be done. As we get closer though, I'll be sure to update everyone here!

Can I put something together with EC2 and NICEDCV, is there a blog post?
then connect from amazon workspaces applications?
s
Why not use WorkSpaces with docker and code installed to interface with ECS at that point? Better performance, more cost optimized.
p
Need to run Hyper-v for App-V and MSIX support. and Maybe WSL2
Just connect by RDP?
s
You can use dcv or RDP, but if you're not worried about gateways then just RDP direct
