Amazon WorkSpaces Applications improves multi-session fleet management Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now enables instances in multi-session fleets to stop accepting new user sessions, while allowing existing sessions to continue uninterrupted. This capability, known as drain mode, ensures seamless operations during maintenance, scaling, or system updates. Multi-session fleets allow hosting multiple end user sessions on a single instance, helping to maximize usage of the underlying infrastructure - including compute, memory and storage resources - and lowering the overall cost. This new drain mode capability helps administrators manage multi-session environments more seamlessly by preventing disruption to active users. When performing system maintenance, applying security patches, or scaling down resources, administrators can configure instances to gradually empty without abruptly terminating user sessions. This ensures users can complete their work smoothly while new connections are directed to other available instances, maintaining system stability and improving the overall end-user experience. This new feature is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Applications is available. Amazon WorkSpaces Applications offers pay-as-you-go pricing. For more information, see Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Pricing. To get started with WorkSpaces Applications, see WorkSpaces applications: Getting started.

🆕 Amazon WorkSpaces Applications introduces drain mode for multi-session fleets, allowing instances to stop new sessions while keeping existing ones running, ensuring smooth maintenance and updates without user disruption, available at no extra cost.

Amazon WorkSpaces Applications extends support for 4K resolution Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now supports up to 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution on non-accelerated instance types and across all client connection modes. Previously, higher resolution monitors were limited to graphics-accelerated instances in WorkSpaces Applications classic mode. This update allows you to choose the appropriate instance type and provide a better end-user experience that aligns with your hardware investments. This new feature benefits customers by providing a consistent and high-quality streaming experience across instances regardless of hardware acceleration capabilities. Whether using native application mode, classic application mode, or desktop view, your end users can now enjoy up to 4K resolution if their display device supports it. This enhancement is particularly valuable for users with ultra-wide monitors (21:9 aspect ratio) at 4K resolution, ensuring applications display with optimal clarity and detail at the maximum supported resolution of 4K. These features are available at no additional cost in all the AWS Regions where WorkSpaces Applications is available. WorkSpaces Applications offers pay-as-you-go pricing. To get started with WorkSpaces Applications, see Amazon WorkSpaces applications: Getting started.  To enable these features for your users, you must use a WorkSpaces Applications image that uses a WorkSpaces Applications agent released on or after February 4, 2026, or an image that uses Managed WorkSpaces Applications image updates released on or after February 18, 2026.

Amazon AppStream 2.0 now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Amazon WorkSpaces Applications now supports IPv6 for https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream2/latest/developerguide/allowed-domains.html and external endpoints, allowing end users to connect to WorkSpaces Applications over IPv6 from IPv6 compatible devices (except SAML authentication). This helps you meet IPv6 compliance requirements and eliminates the need for expensive networking equipment to handle address translation between IPv4 and IPv6. The Internet's growth is consuming IPv4 addresses quickly. WorkSpaces Applications, by supporting IPv6, assists customers in streamlining their network architecture. This support offers a much larger address space and removes the necessity to manage overlapping address spaces in their VPCs. Customers can now base their applications on IPv6, ensuring their infrastructure is future-ready and compatible with existing IPv4 systems via a fallback mechanism. This feature is available at no additional cost in 16 AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Paris, Frankfurt, London, Ireland), Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Seoul, Singapore), and South America (Sao Paulo) and AWS GovCloud (US-West, US-East).

Amazon AppStream 2.0 adds support for fractional GPU instances Today, Amazon AppStream 2.0 announces support for Graphics G6 instances with fractionalized GPU sizes, which are built on the https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/g6/, designed to cater to graphics applications that need smaller GPU fractions. Graphics G6 instances with fractionalized GPU sizes (G6f and Gr6f) allow users to utilize only the GPU resources they need, rather than provisioning full GPU instances. This approach helps enable better resource optimization through shared GPU capacity, offering flexibility to choose smaller GPU fractions (such as 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8) that align with specific workload requirements. Organizations can benefit from reduced costs by avoiding over-provisioning while maintaining access to GPU capabilities for applications that don't require full GPU power. These new instance types are available in 10 AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London), Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney), and South America (Sao Paulo). AppStream 2.0 offers pay-as-you-go pricing, see https://aws.amazon.com/appstream2/pricing/ for more information. To get started, select an AppStream 2.0 Graphics G6 instances with fractionalized GPU sizes when launching an image builder or creating a new fleet.
