Yes or Dry Run for the input parameter Terminate Unused Workspaces Customers can use the input parameter Number of months for termination check to set the duration for the This feature is set to No and customers can enable this by selecting The solution provides a feature to terminate unused WorkSpaces permanently. Immediately, the solution’s CloudFormation template includes a parameter ( Simulate End of Month) that will run these conversions at the Monthly to hourlyįor customers who want to convert WorkSpaces from monthly billing to hourly billing However, you can manuallyĬhange the billing model at any time using the AWS Console.
Next month, if usage was below the monthly usage threshold. Solution will not convert the WorkSpace back to hourly billing until the beginning of the Once the solution converts a WorkSpace from hourly billing to monthly billing, the Using dry run mode and adjusting the threshold to your needs before setting the Dry Run Mode parameter to No. To mitigate this potential discrepancy, we recommend carefully monitoring your usage If several of your WorkSpaces are prematurelyĬonverted before exceeding the threshold, consider raising the threshold. If several of your WorkSpaces consistently exceed the threshold before beingĬonverted, consider lowering the threshold. Midnight on Monday, the WorkSpace will not be converted until the calculation at midnight Will not be converted to monthly billing. If, at midnight on Monday, your usage is 84, the WorkSpace For example, the default threshold for a Standard instance is set toĨ5.
The default configuration may result in some WorkSpaces exceeding the threshold for up toĢ4 hours. However, you can use the solution’s hub template parameters to change the thresholdįor when each WorkSpace converts from hourly to monthly billing.īecause the solution cannot convert WorkSpaces before the calculation at midnight, Monthly billing model if the WorkSpace exceeds an hourly usage threshold for thatīy default, the threshold is set close to the hourly and monthly billing break-even Solution automatically converts individual WorkSpaces from an hourly billing model to a This calculation includes that day’s usage. This solution calculates the hourly WorkSpace usage for each WorkSpace once per day, Threshold, the billing model changes to hourly on the last day of the month. If WorkSpace utilization for the month was lesser than or equal to usage The conversion from monthly to hourly mode happens on the last day of the The usage threshold, the billing model changes to monthly on the day the utilization exceeds No, the solution converts a WorkSpace to monthly or hourly billing model,ĭepending on the WorkSpace utilization for the given month. When the Dry Run Mode parameter is set to The solution will then begin toĪutomatically implement future billing changes based on the recommendations provided in itsĭaily and monthly reports. Recommendations to be automatically implemented, change the template parameter Dry Run Mode to No. When youĪre comfortable with the recommendations provided by the solution and would like these Recommendations without the solution automatically implementing billing changes. This mode also allows you to evaluate and analyze the solution’s Dry run mode provides insight into how the recommended changes may affect your If you plan to transition from AutoStop to AlwaysOn, consider making the change near the end of a month.We recommend that you run this solution in the dry run mode (activated by default) for aįew months, review the daily and monthly reports, and manually implement any desiredĬhanges. Note: Updating the running mode of a WorkSpace from AutoStop to AlwaysOn might result in an overlap in billing between the two billing models. Follow the directions in Switch the WorkSpace running mode, depending on your client version. However, other users can perform this task if they are given the relevant permissions to manage Workspaces.
By default, only system administrators can modify the running mode. To change the running mode after a WorkSpace has launched, follow the directions at Modify the running mode. To be billed using the hourly model, choose AutoStop.
To be billed using the monthly model, leave the running mode as AlwaysOn when you launch the WorkSpace. The running mode is initially specified when launching a new Workspace. Amazon WorkSpaces can be billed by the month or by the hour, depending on which running mode you choose.
