Amazon WorkSpaces announces advanced printer redirection AWS announces advanced printer redirection for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal, enabling Windows users to access the full feature set of their printers from their virtual desktop environments. With this feature, customers can now use printer-specific capabilities such as double-sided printing, paper tray selection, finishing options (stapling, hole-punching), and color management directly from their Windows WorkSpaces. Advanced printer redirection addresses the need for specialized printing features that require printer-specific drivers rather than generic drivers. This capability is ideal for organizations with users who need advanced printing features for professional documents, labels, or specialized output. The feature includes configurable driver validation modes (exact match, partial match, or name-only matching) to balance compatibility with feature support, allowing administrators to optimize for their specific environment. When matching drivers are not found, WorkSpaces automatically falls back to basic printing mode, ensuring users can always print. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces Personal is offered. Advanced printer redirection is supported on Windows WorkSpaces with Windows clients only, and requires WorkSpaces Agent version 2.2.0.2116 or later and Windows client version 5.31 or later. Matching printer drivers must be installed on both the WorkSpace and the client device. For more information about advanced printer redirection in Amazon WorkSpaces, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/group_policy.html in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide, or visit the https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces-family/workspaces/ page to learn more about virtual desktop solutions from AWS.

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports WebAuthn redirection for local Chromium browsers Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now supports Web Authentication (WebAuthn) redirection, allowing users to authenticate to websites using their local FIDO2 security keys, biometric authenticators, and platform authenticators while browsing in their WorkSpaces Secure Browser session. This feature is compatible with Chromium-based browser on users’ local devices, such as Google Chrome 136 (or later) or Microsoft Edge 137 (or later).

Amazon WorkSpaces now supports IPv6 Amazon WorkSpaces now supports IPv6 for https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/workspaces-port-requirements.html#whitelisted_ports, enabling users to connect through an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack configuration from compatible clients (excluding SAML authentication). This helps customers meet IPv6 compliance requirements and eliminates the need for costly networking equipment to handle address translation between IPv4 and IPv6. Dual-stack support for WorkSpaces addresses the Internet's growing demand for IP addresses by offering a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This eliminates the need to manage overlapping address ranges within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Customers can deploy WorkSpaces through dual-stack that supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols while maintaining backward compatibility with existing IPv4 systems. Customers can also connect to their WorkSpaces through PrivateLink VPC endpoints over IPv6, enabling them to access the service privately without routing traffic over the public internet. Connecting to Amazon WorkSpaces over IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack configuration is supported in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US East & US West) Regions. There is no additional cost for this feature. To enable IPv6, you must use https://clients.amazonworkspaces.com/ for Windows, macOS, Linux, PCoIP zero clients, or web access. To learn more about IPv6 support on Amazon WorkSpaces, refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/amazon-workspaces-vpc.html.

Customers can also connect to their WorkSpaces through PrivateLink VPC endpoints over IPv6, enabling them to access the service privately without routing traffic over the public internet. Connecting to Amazon WorkSpaces over IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack configuration is supported in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US East & US West) Regions. There is no additional cost for this feature. To enable IPv6, you must use https://clients.amazonworkspaces.com/ for Windows, macOS, Linux, PCoIP zero clients, or web access. To learn more about IPv6 support on Amazon WorkSpaces, refer to the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/amazon-workspaces-vpc.html.

Amazon WorkSpaces now supports IPv6 Amazon WorkSpaces now supports IPv6 for WorkSpaces domains and external endpoints, enabling users to connect through an IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack configuration from compatible clients (excluding SAML authentication). This helps customers meet IPv6 compliance requirements and eliminates the need for costly networking equipment to handle address translation between IPv4 and IPv6. Dual-stack support for WorkSpaces addresses the Internet's growing demand for IP addresses by offering a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This eliminates the need to manage overlapping address ranges within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser introduces Web Content Filtering Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser now includes Web Content Filtering, a comprehensive security and compliance feature that enables organizations to control and monitor web content access. This new capability allows administrators to define granular access policies, block specific URLs or entire domain categories using 25+ predefined categories, and seamlessly integrate with Session Logger for enhanced monitoring and compliance reporting. While existing Chrome policies for domain control remain supported, Web Content Filtering provides a more comprehensive way to control web access through category-based filtering and improved logging capabilities. Organizations can better manage their remote work security and compliance requirements through centralized policy management that scales across the enterprise. IT security teams can implement default-deny policies for high-security environments, while compliance officers benefit from detailed logging and monitoring capabilities. The feature maintains flexibility by allowing customized policies and exceptions based on specific business needs. This feature is available at no additional cost in 10 AWS Regions, including US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, London, Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore). WorkSpaces Secure Browser offers pay-as-you go https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/secure-browser/pricing/. To get started with WorkSpaces Secure Browser, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces-web/latest/adminguide/getting-started.html.
