Architecture Design

WorkSpaces Manager runs within a client’s own VPC in AWS. As seen in the image below, the elements that can be used for the global setup are as follows:

1. WorkSpaces Appliance (based on Windows Server 2019 or 2022)

2. MS-SQL Database (can run on the same Windows Instance or on RDS)

3. Active Directory (it can be on-prem or AWS Managed, but it needs connectivity)

4. CloudWatch Events and Log Access Groups

5. AWS Cost-Optimizer (with IAM access to the S3 bucket where the data is stored)

6. WorkSpaces and/or AppStream

7. AWS APIs

8. SMTP Relay (to make use of Password reminders, sending of reports, auto-delete functions and general notifications)

9. nuvens.info API to check license and version

10. External Providers Integration (nothing exists by default but can be added)

• SMTP Relay is used to send emails to users, and this is part of the setup

• External Providers can be discussed with the Development Team, for example, ServiceNow

nuvens.info must be reachable through the internet on HTTPS port 443
