WorkSpaces / Client / create_workspaces

create_workspaces#

WorkSpaces.Client.create_workspaces(**kwargs)#

Creates one or more WorkSpaces.

This operation is asynchronous and returns before the WorkSpaces are created.

Note

  • The MANUAL running mode value is only supported by Amazon WorkSpaces Core. Contact your account team to be allow-listed to use this value. For more information, see Amazon WorkSpaces Core.

  • You don’t need to specify the PCOIP protocol for Linux bundles because DCV (formerly WSP) is the default protocol for those bundles.

  • User-decoupled WorkSpaces are only supported by Amazon WorkSpaces Core.

  • Review your running mode to ensure you are using one that is optimal for your needs and budget. For more information on switching running modes, see Can I switch between hourly and monthly billing?
