The document discusses how Amazon WorkSpaces was used to power hands-on labs at AWS re:Invent 2018. Over 500 Amazon WorkSpaces were provisioned across multiple rooms to replace traditional PCs. The solution was designed to be automated, redundant across regions, and leverage native AWS capabilities. Images were created using a light-touch process of provisioning users and WorkSpaces through scripts.
16. Autodesk University case study

“Using AWS, Autodesk is able to set up and deploy 450 workstations at its
Autodesk University events, saving nearly a week’s worth of time and
thousands of dollars. Autodesk develops software for the engineering,
design, and entertainment industries. Instead of renting physical hardware,
Autodesk uses GPU-enabled Amazon WorkSpaces to host its virtual
workstations on zero clients, improving setup efficiency and reducing its
carbon footprint.”
