Subscribed, and then was able to run Octane Cloud Workstation (Linux) AMI. Have couple questions:
1. What is the network bandwidth typically required to smoothly run remote desktop this way? My link is 8.5 Mbps downstream, and 0.85 Mbps upstream, and I tried to run glxgears, and then to watch some YouTube videos in remote desktop, however the desktop get blurred all the time, it just doesn't "feel" right...
2. Are there any other ways to access to the remote desktop than through Web browser?
3. What is needed to install and configure on "vanilla" Amazon Linux AMI with NVIDIA GRID GPU Driver in order to have remote desktop enabled (would prefer to run Amazon Linux than Ubuntu in the remote desktop)?
Thanks.
P.S. Overall, I find this very exciting milestone, despite the fact that I found experience lacking. It's pity that a procedure to try the whole thing was not better explained in all these announcements yesterday. I was tracking GRID developments, and was awaiting for an opportunity to try it, so when learned about this new type of EC2 instances I was eager to try it. However, it was rather hard and confusing to find any info on how to actually access remote desktop once G2 instance up and running...
