Does SuperNova support Amazon WorkSpaces?

SuperNova does not currently support Amazon's virtual channel API or indirect display driver

Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed Desktop-as-a-Service solution provided by Amazon Web Services. It allows organisations to provision virtual desktops in the cloud, enabling users to access their applications and data from any supported device.

Amazon WorkSpaces do not use RDP or ICA protocol, but instead use their own proprietary indirect display driver and PC-over-IP and WorkSpaces Streaming Protocol.

If SuperNova is run inside an Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktop session, its magnification is unlikely to work, and also SuperNova does not support Amazon's virtual channel API so audio would have to be streamed to the client.

All in all it would be a pretty poor user experience, a bit like using a thin client solution.
