Deploying VMware Horizon 8 on VMware Cloud on AWS

VMware Cloud on AWS is a VMware SDDC infrastructure-as-a-service on AWS where you can deploy VMware Horizon 8 desktops and applications.

You can select AWS as an available deployment type when you install Connection Server. You can also provide AWS as a deployment type during a silent installation of Connection Server. Once you select AWS as a deployment type, Horizon will automatically operate in a mode that is compatible with the VMware Cloud on AWS cloud admin privileges.
