The Workspaces FAQ appears to disagree, but I'd be interested in learning if one can indeed use RDP.

"Q: Can I use any other client (e.g., an RDP client) with Amazon WorkSpaces?

No. The only supported clients for WorkSpaces are the free clients provided by AWS."

I did it.. So it does work :)

If you use public IP addresses, just use that.. or leapfrog rdp through an ssh tunnel or VPN on a linux instance on the same VPC.

Something like this, to tunnel through a linux instance:

  #!/bin/sh
  sshuttle -D -r ubuntu@linuxinstance-in-vpc 172.16.X.0/24
  xfreerdp +clipboard /rfx /smart-sizing:800 /d:CORP /u:demo /v:172.16.X.X

"supported"
