What Is Elastic Desktop Service (EDS)?

Alibaba Cloud Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) is a cloud-based Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution that helps create and manage cloud desktops for remote employees or multi-branch collaborations. It is simple to use, secure, cost-efficient, and available globally. It supports Linux and Windows operating systems.

New Alibaba Cloud users can get a cloud desktop with up to 4 cores and 8GB of memory for only $0.1 for the first week. The special offer is only available for first-time users and only valid on one desktop.

In my opinion, this is a good opportunity to test this service and determine whether it meets all your requirements and expectations!

  • Step 2: Configure the workspace. Select the region where you want to deploy your workspace, enter the workspace name, and select the IPv4 CIDR block and the preferred connection method. Then, select Next.

Note: EDS offers three connection methods: Internet, VPC, and Internet & VPC. You can choose the appropriate option based on whether you want to have an Internet-, internal-, or both communications.

  • Step 4: Let’s create the cloud desktops. Navigate to Cloud Desktops and click on Create Cloud Desktop.

Note: If you cannot see the Create Cloud Desktops button, choose the region of your workspace first. You can find the regions on the top as shown in the picture below:
