Aws-AppStream

AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed service that can be configured for application streaming or for delivery of virtual desktops with selective persistence. When AppStream 2.0 is used for virtual desktops, saved files and application settings remain persistent between user sessions, and a fresh desktop is assigned to the user every time they log on. This Code will help you to set up the Amazon App stream 2.0 Environment. To know more about app stream, kindly go-through with the following documents.

Terraform Execution Steps To Create ImageBuilder

• Clone the git repo.
• Go To AppStream-ImageBuilder Directory.
• Update the variable into tfvars file as per your environment/requirement.
• Push change to git repo.
• To initialize a working directory containing Terraform configuration files:

terraform init

• To validate the Terraform configuration

terraform validate

• To format your Terraform code

terraform fmt --recursive

• To create an execution plan, which lets you preview the changes to your infrastructure:

terraform plan

terraform apply --auto-approve

After the successful execution of terraform Code Imagebuilder Instance gets created, which we are going to customize. For this demo, we are going to install notepad++.
