WorkSpaces Manager allows to manage WorkSpaces across single or multiple AWS accounts. When you set up WorkSpaces Manager, you will initially set up a single account. Afterwards, you can set up multi-AWS accounts by enabling this function and following the .

Additionally, the following settings can be configured in this section:

  • Default AWS Region: This is the region automatically selected for running AWS services and resources unless a different one is specified. AWS regions are globally distributed locations where AWS data centers are hosted.

  • Show AWS Bundles: AWS WorkSpaces provides several predefined bundles that include compute resources, storage, and an operating system for provisioning virtual desktops. It is recommended to hide these default bundles to make custom bundles more visible and easily identifiable.

  • Fixed Tag Values: These are pre-set tag values that are automatically applied to Amazon WorkSpaces when created or managed through WSM. Tags in AWS, consisting of key-value pairs, help with organizing and categorizing resources, simplifying cost tracking, resource management, and automation.

  • Use Custom KMS Keys: This option enhances security by encrypting Amazon WorkSpaces and related resources using your own encryption keys, rather than AWS-managed keys. It offers more control over key management, including rotation, access policies, and auditing.

  • Dry Run Mode: This feature allows you to simulate potential cost-saving actions without actually implementing them, providing insights into possible savings before making changes.

  • Cost Optimizer Bucket: Bucket name where Cost Optimizer data stored

  • Cost Optimizer Version: The version determines the filename used to store the data

You will see a summary of the Account ID(s) as they are added.

If you want to deploy Roles and Policies on a Multi-Account AWS Environment, you can also check our GitLab with code for Terraform and CloudFormation examples:

If the wrong version is selected for Cost Optimizer, cost optimization reports will not work. This does not however effect the functionality of the AWS Cost Optimizer.

To understand how to set up cost optimiser for Amazon WorkSpaces, please follow this external link :

AWS Cost Optimizer: If this tool is installed, you can enable its reporting features in this section to track and optimize WorkSpaces costs. The tile on the Admin Dashboard provides a quick overview of the tool's status and the number of operating directories, helping you monitor performance and address any issues promptly.
