Single answerWhich AWS service can be used to present the output of virtual machines (VMs) to end-user machines, enabling remote desktop access for applications or desktops?
- A
Amazon WorkSpaces
- B
AWS Lambda
- C
Amazon EC2
- D
Amazon AppStream 2.0
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Amazon WorkSpaces is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for presenting virtual desktops (VM-based environments) to end-user machines. This service simplifies desktop virtualization and enables users to access their desktops securely from anywhere. While Amazon AppStream 2.0 provides application streaming, it does not deliver full desktop environments. AWS Lambda and Amazon EC2 do not directly serve the purpose of desktop presentation to end-users.
- A. Correct.
Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed desktop virtualization service that allows users to access a Windows or Linux desktop environment from any device, making it the correct choice for presenting VM output to end-user machines.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that executes code in response to events and is not used for presenting VM output or enabling remote desktop access.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon EC2 provides virtual machines in the cloud but does not natively support presenting their output to end-user machines for remote desktop purposes without additional setup or services.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application streaming service that streams applications to end-user machines, but it is not used for delivering a full desktop environment like Amazon WorkSpaces.
