Deploying VMware Horizon 8 on Native Amazon EC2

You can deploy Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) hosts on native Amazon EC2 to support manual farms.

You start out by configuring an AWS account and creating an EC2 instance type and quantity based on your requirement. You then deploy the VMware Horizon 8 server components on the Amazon EC2 machines. You can also deploy additional components as required such as events database, Active Directory domain controllers, or file shares.
