WebStream helps AWS customers move legacy application access onto AWS while modernisation continues in parallel.
Deploy WebStream Core on your own AWS account, publish one blocking application, and validate browser access end to end — before you commit to a wider rollout.
Most AWS programs stall on the same handful of access problems.
One irreplaceable Windows application holds an entire datacentre exit or migration wave hostage.
Lease and hardware deadlines force a move before the application is ready to modernise.
Direct remote access creates audit gaps and fails cloud security review.
Rolling out and supporting clients across every device slows the project and the help desk.
Regulatory and procurement constraints rule out exposing a full desktop or uncontrolled access.
One-off workarounds do not scale across a portfolio of remaining Windows blockers.
Pick the single workload blocking the AWS conversation — one app, one team, one outcome.
Stand up WebStream Core on an EC2 instance in your own AWS account.
Publish the Windows application and open it in the browser — no rewrite, no client.
Confirm file, print, and session workflows behave the way users expect.
Reuse the same pattern across the next blocker app and scale toward production.
A simple, documentable pattern your security team can sign off.
The Windows application runs on EC2 in your VPC, lifted as-is from the datacentre — no RDP port 3389 exposed to users or the internet.
The control plane streams the application UI to the browser over TLS (HTML5/WebSocket) and enforces file, print, clipboard, and session policy with full audit.
Users connect over HTTPS from any modern browser — no VPN, no RDP client, no endpoint agent to deploy or patch.
Access is identity-gated per application, so users reach only the workload they are entitled to — not a full desktop.
Users reach the application in a browser with nothing installed locally.
Upload, download, and print-to-PDF behave correctly under policy.
Sessions are isolated and audited to satisfy the security review.
The deployment is documented as a template you can reuse for the next app.

No. WebStream delivers specific Windows applications through the browser rather than full desktops. It is best when you need governed app access, not a complete desktop estate.
No. You lift the Windows application to an AWS EC2 instance unchanged and WebStream handles browser rendering and session control.
WebStream Core is the scale-limited evaluation edition. It runs on your own AWS account, you publish one application, and validate the workflows end to end — all accessed through the browser.
For a production-like setup, place an Application Load Balancer with an ACM certificate in front of the instance; it handles HTTPS and WebSocket upgrades reliably.
WebStream does not deliver a Windows desktop session, so the model differs from RDS desktop access. Confirm Microsoft licensing for your specific applications with your licensing advisor.
Paid tiers bill SessionHours — active streaming time only — with compute kept separate as your own EC2. You pay for use, not for seats or idle time.
Start an evaluation with WebStream Core — hosted in your cloud or ours, accessed entirely through the browser — and prove browser access to your blocking app within hours. For the setup walkthrough, see browser access to Windows apps on AWS.
