Amazon Workspaces
Amazon WorkSpaces is a cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service that allows users to access a full Windows or Linux desktop environment from anywhere with an internet connection. The application serves as the client software for connecting to virtual desktops hosted on Amazon's cloud infrastructure, enabling remote work, BYOD (bring your own device) policies, and secure access to corporate applications and data. It's particularly valuable for businesses that need to provide employees with consistent desktop environments across different devices and locations, while maintaining centralized control over software, security, and data. The service supports various WorkSpace bundles with different performance tiers and includes features like persistent storage, multi-monitor support, and integration with existing Active Directory systems.

1 suggestionBased on the search results, Amazon WorkSpaces does not currently have a native Apple Silicon version available. The Reddit discussions from both 2020 and 2024 indicate ongoing requests from users for Apple Silicon-native support, but Amazon has not yet released one. The Intel version should still work on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2 translation, though this may impact performance and battery life. Users experiencing issues on macOS 15 may need to reinstall the client periodically. For now, your best option is to continue using the Intel version via Rosetta 2 while hoping Amazon releases native Apple Silicon support in future updates. You can check Amazon's download page periodically for updates.
