Persist Environment Variables in Amazon AppStream 2.0

Environment variables enable you to dynamically pass settings across applications. For example, many engineering applications rely on environment variables to specify the IP address or host name of a license server to locate and check out a license from that server.

Follow the steps in these procedures to make environment variables available across your fleet instances.

Note

The following instructions apply to Windows fleets only.

Note

If you are using Active Directory and Group Policy with AppStream 2.0, keep in mind that streaming instances must be joined to an Active Directory domain to use Group Policy for environment variables. For information about how to configure the Group Policy Environment Variable preference item, see Configure an Environment Variable Item in the Microsoft documentation.
