Welcome to the Amazon WorkSpaces API Reference

Amazon WorkSpaces enables you to provision virtual, cloud-based Microsoft Windows or Amazon Linux desktops for your users, known as WorkSpaces. WorkSpaces eliminates the need to procure and deploy hardware or install complex software. You can quickly add or remove users as your needs change. Users can access their virtual desktops from multiple devices or web browsers.

This API Reference provides detailed information about the actions, data types, parameters, and errors of the WorkSpaces service. For more information about the supported AWS Regions, endpoints, and service quotas of the WorkSpaces service, see WorkSpaces endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.

You can also manage your WorkSpaces resources using the WorkSpaces console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), and SDKs. For more information about administering WorkSpaces, see the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide. For more information about using the Amazon WorkSpaces client application or web browser to access provisioned WorkSpaces, see the Amazon WorkSpaces User Guide. For more information about using the AWS CLI to manage your WorkSpaces resources, see the WorkSpaces section of the AWS CLI Reference.
