Features and Applications of the WorkSpaces Package

The Amazon WorkSpaces Activities Package is helpful for automating tasks such as:

• **On-boarding:
  **Provisioning WorkSpaces for new employees or students: In educational institutions and corporate settings, WorkSpaces can be provisioned to grant students or staff access to the necessary resources during courses or employment.
  For businesses, this is particularly useful for software developers as it ensures that valuable source code remains secure, as it is not stored on individual devices.
• **Off-boarding:
  **Decommissioning WorkSpaces when an employee departs or a student completes a course or semester.
• **Cost Optimization:
  **Removing WorkSpaces that have remained unused for a specified period (N days).
  Stopping WorkSpaces with a ConnectionState status of "DISCONNECTED."
• **WorkSpace Management:
  **Initiating, rebooting, or halting a WorkSpace.
  Adjusting WorkSpace attributes, including resizing the root or user volumes, modifying compute types, changing running modes, adding tags, and more.
  Migrating a WorkSpace to a new bundle type.
  Generating a comprehensive report encompassing all WorkSpaces present in an AWS Directory Service directory.
