Include 'RunningMode' in CloudFormation template to deploy AWS Workspaces
I am currently working on a proof of concept which also covers the deployment of AWS Workspaces using CloudFormation. Therefore, I'd like to add the RunningMode (Either 'AutoStop' or 'AlwaysOn') as parameter. So far I was not able to figure out how to include this into the CloudFormation template. Any ideas?
Cheers, Dominik
Current template (Simplified):
{
"Parameters": {
"UserName": {
"Type": "String",
"Default": "test_user"
}
},
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Resources": {
"TestWorkspace1": {
"Type": "AWS::WorkSpaces::Workspace",
"Properties": {
"BundleId": "<BUNDLE_ID>",
"DirectoryId": "<DIRECTORY_ID>",
"UserName": {
"Ref": "UserName"
},
"RootVolumeEncryptionEnabled": false,
"UserVolumeEncryptionEnabled": false
}
}
},
"Outputs": {
"Username": {
"Value": {
"Fn::Join": [
"",
[
{
"Ref": "UserName"
}
]
]
},
"Description": "Workspaces Username"
},
"StaticMessage": {
"Value": "In case of first usage, you will receive a initial password for the Amazon Workspaces Client separately, once the workspace has been created.",
"Description": "Workspaces note"
}
}
}

Looks like API Documentation doesnt show that option, however in boto3 I can see a property for it.. boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/… Worth trying it on CF - try adding under properties 'WorkspaceProperties': { 'RunningMode': 'AUTO_STOP'|'ALWAYS_ON', 'RunningModeAutoStopTimeoutInMinutes': 123 } Maybe its just not documented?

This was also my first approach. Unfortunately it returned "Encountered unsupported property WorkspacesProperties". Alternatively, we consider to use the AWS Java SDK, which provides an API to access AWS Workspaces. It's working that way, though we'd prefer using CloudFormation. - Dominik

I just discoverd, that you can now specify the values for
RunningMode:
RunningModeAutoStopTimeoutInMinutes:
in Cloudformation Templates.
