About Amazon DCV Server

Amazon DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol. It lets you securely deliver remote desktops and application streaming from any cloud or data center to any device, over varying network conditions. By using Amazon DCV with Amazon EC2, you can run graphics-intensive applications remotely on Amazon EC2 instances. You can then stream the results to more modest client machines, which eliminates the need for expensive dedicated workstations.

What's new in 26.0.24952.0

  • Support for RHEL 10, Rocky Linux 10, CentOS 10, and Ubuntu 26.04 (virtual sessions) based on Wayland.
  • A new native macOS client that replaces the previous one. It requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer.
  • A renewed user experience for the Linux client.
  • A minimize button in the full-screen toolbar of the Windows and macOS clients.
  • Gamepad support on the macOS client.
  • URL redirection on Windows hosts.
  • Printer preferences redirection on Windows client to Windows host.
  • H.264 frame slice support, with multithreaded slice software decoding on the Linux and macOS clients.
  • Support for DCV EC2 licensing in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
  • Support for macOS 27 on the DCV server on Amazon EC2 Mac instances.
