AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 977

A company wants its employees to have access to virtual desktop infrastructure to securely access company-provided desktops through the employees' personal devices.
Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Amazon AppStream 2.0
• B. AWS AppSync
• C. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
• D. Amazon WorkSpaces

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed, secure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) service that enables users to access a persistent cloud desktop from any supported device. Amazon AppStream 2.0 is designed for streaming specific applications rather than providing full persistent desktops, while AWS AppSync is a GraphQL API service and Amazon FSx is a file storage service.
