FleetType

The fleet type.

ALWAYS_ON

Provides users with instant-on access to their apps. You are charged for all running instances in your fleet, even if no users are streaming apps.

ON_DEMAND

Provide users with access to applications after they connect, which takes one to two minutes. You are charged for instance streaming when users are connected and a small hourly fee for instances that are not streaming apps.

ComputeCapacity

The desired capacity for the fleet. This is not allowed for Elastic fleets. For Elastic fleets, specify MaxConcurrentSessions instead.

VpcConfig

The VPC configuration for the fleet. This is required for Elastic fleets, but not required for other fleet types. Elastic fleets require that you specify at least two subnets in different availability zones.

MaxUserDurationInSeconds

The maximum amount of time that a streaming session can remain active, in seconds. If users are still connected to a streaming instance five minutes before this limit is reached, they are prompted to save any open documents before being disconnected. After this time elapses, the instance is terminated and replaced by a new instance.

Specify a value between 600 and 432000.

DisconnectTimeoutInSeconds

The amount of time that a streaming session remains active after users disconnect. If users try to reconnect to the streaming session after a disconnection or network interruption within this time interval, they are connected to their previous session. Otherwise, they are connected to a new session with a new streaming instance.

Specify a value between 60 and 36000.

Description

The description to display.

DisplayName

The fleet name to display.

EnableDefaultInternetAccess

Enables or disables default internet access for the fleet.

DomainJoinInfo

The name of the directory and organizational unit (OU) to use to join the fleet to a Microsoft Active Directory domain. This is not allowed for Elastic fleets.

Tags

The tags to associate with the fleet. A tag is a key-value pair, and the value is optional. For example, Environment=Test. If you do not specify a value, Environment=.

If you do not specify a value, the value is set to an empty string.

Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following special characters:

_ . : / = + \ - @

For more information, see Tagging Your Resources in the Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Administration Guide.

IdleDisconnectTimeoutInSeconds

The amount of time that users can be idle (inactive) before they are disconnected from their streaming session and the DisconnectTimeoutInSeconds time interval begins. Users are notified before they are disconnected due to inactivity. If they try to reconnect to the streaming session before the time interval specified in DisconnectTimeoutInSeconds elapses, they are connected to their previous session. Users are considered idle when they stop providing keyboard or mouse input during their streaming session. File uploads and downloads, audio in, audio out, and pixels changing do not qualify as user activity. If users continue to be idle after the time interval in IdleDisconnectTimeoutInSeconds elapses, they are disconnected.

To prevent users from being disconnected due to inactivity, specify a value of 0. Otherwise, specify a value between 60 and 36000. The default value is 0.

If you enable this feature, we recommend that you specify a value that corresponds exactly to a whole number of minutes (for example, 60, 120, and 180). If you don't do this, the value is rounded to the nearest minute. For example, if you specify a value of 70, users are disconnected after 1 minute of inactivity. If you specify a value that is at the midpoint between two different minutes, the value is rounded up. For example, if you specify a value of 90, users are disconnected after 2 minutes of inactivity.

IamRoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role to apply to the fleet. To assume a role, a fleet instance calls the AWS Security Token Service (STS) AssumeRole API operation and passes the ARN of the role to use. The operation creates a new session with temporary credentials. WorkSpaces Applications retrieves the temporary credentials and creates the appstream_machine_role credential profile on the instance.

For more information, see Using an IAM Role to Grant Permissions to Applications and Scripts Running on WorkSpaces Applications Streaming Instances in the Amazon WorkSpaces Applications Administration Guide.

StreamView

The WorkSpaces Applications view that is displayed to your users when they stream from the fleet. When APP is specified, only the windows of applications opened by users display. When DESKTOP is specified, the standard desktop that is provided by the operating system displays.

The default value is APP.

Platform

The fleet platform. WINDOWS_SERVER_2019, AMAZON_LINUX2 and UBUNTU_PRO_2404 are supported for Elastic fleets.

MaxConcurrentSessions

The maximum concurrent sessions of the Elastic fleet. This is required for Elastic fleets, and not allowed for other fleet types.

UsbDeviceFilterStrings

The USB device filter strings that specify which USB devices a user can redirect to the fleet streaming session, when using the Windows native client. This is allowed but not required for Elastic fleets.

SessionScriptS3Location

The S3 location of the session scripts configuration zip file. This only applies to Elastic fleets.

MaxSessionsPerInstance

The maximum number of user sessions on an instance. This only applies to multi-session fleets.

RootVolumeConfig

The configuration for the root volume of fleet instances. Use this to customize storage capacity from 200 GB up to 500 GB based on your application requirements.

DisableIMDSV1

Set to true to disable Instance Metadata Service Version 1 (IMDSv1) and enforce IMDSv2. Set to false to enable both IMDSv1 and IMDSv2.

Before disabling IMDSv1, ensure your WorkSpaces Applications images are running the agent version or managed image update released on or after January 16, 2024 to support IMDSv2 enforcement.
