Spotty Connections and Workflow Disruptions Experienced With AWS Workspaces for Engineers
AWS workspace has been far from ideal and does not feel suitable for day-to-day collaboration as a Software Engineering. We used it as an alternative way to provide secure, remotely manageable workstations for our remote employees, in lieu of a dedication work laptop. While it does provide minimal latency and allows us to scale a provision each workstation independently, the spotty connections and lack of continuous stream support mean that doing online conferencing, for example, was not possible. In the end, developers had to have a duo setup between using workspaces for some coding work and native desktop for remote collaboration which defeats the whole purpose of our needs of having a secured, managed workstation.
