[NFBCS] Accessibility of AWS with JAWS

[Tom Moore]

Hi,
I would agree with Brian's statements here.
In order for me to access windows instances that need to be created on the
platform what I do is use a user data script that creates an admin account
on the instance with a known password to get around the inaccessible
password generation method that Aws has.
In addition it adds this account to the list of users that can connect to
the machine via remote desktop for management purposes.

One service I have found really hard to use is the Work Spaces service and
this does not seem to work with Jaws all that well and I have tried both
machine type protocols.

	hello.  I'm not Tom, but I think I can answer your question, or, at
least, I can shed more
light on it.  AWS is a huge suite of services, all with various levels of
accessibility, or
non-accessibility, depending on your perspective. To make matters worse,
there is a lot of
overlap between these various services, meaning it is insufficient to ask if
AWS database
services are accessible, for example.  As an example, you can buy an Amazon
virtual machine,
either using Amazon's EC2 platform, or their Lightsail platform.  In
general, the EC2 platform
is more accessible than the Lightsail platform, though both have their
issues.  So, in order
for us to answer your questions, we'd need to know exactly which AWS
services your company
wants to use when they deploy their cloud strategy.  Also,there is a
difference between using
the service, i.e, accessing a database hosted by Amazon, versus
administering services hosted
by Amazon, i.e. creating a database hosted by Amazon, or looking at your
utilization stats in
the Amazon dashboard to see how much they're charging you.  In general,
accessing a hosted
database would work the same as accessing any database remotely, i.e. you
would use the usual
clients and tools you use to get at the database.  So, if all you're doing
is managing data in
the database, rather than managing the database provider, I think you'll be
fine.

Hope that helps.
