Amazon WorkSpaces Personal simplifies bulk PCoIP to DCV protocol migration

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal now provides automated rollback and support for migrating stopped WorkSpaces from the PCoIP protocol to DCV. This builds on the recently launched console-based migration workflow and checkpoint snapshot support. These new capabilities enable administrators to migrate WorkSpaces at scale with minimal manual intervention. Amazon DCV is a high-performance streaming protocol developed by AWS that powers Amazon WorkSpaces services. By migrating to DCV, customers gain access to broader operating system support including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025, enhanced security features such as certificate-based authentication and WebAuthN redirection, and improved streaming performance. If a protocol modification fails, the WorkSpace automatically rolls back to the pre-migration snapshot, ensuring it returns to a known healthy state without manual intervention. Additionally, administrators can now initiate migration for WorkSpaces in a stopped state, eliminating the need to manually start each stopped WorkSpace before modifying its protocol. This significantly speeds up large-scale migrations. These enhancements are available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is supported.
