Amazon WorkSpaces Applications (formerly AppStream 2.0) maps to RemoteApp in Azure Virtual Desktop, which publishes individual apps from session hosts.
- WorkSpaces Applications is a managed fleet service (always-on, on-demand, or elastic fleets) with HTML5 browser access. RemoteApp in Azure Virtual Desktop runs on session-host VMs that you manage.
- WorkSpaces Applications now offers MCP tools so AI agents can operate desktop apps. Azure Virtual Desktop has no equivalent built in.
