Abstract

Virtual workspaces can be provided using a shared resource environment. A workspace accessed under a customer account can perform an upgrade or downgrade of the operating system by building a new workspace instance instead of modifying an existing workspace instance. A workspace bundle can be obtained that includes a machine image for the target operating system, as well as configuration information and information for default applications installed for the workspace. A new workspace instance can be created using the workspace bundle and user-specific configuration information. A workspace agent can perform a simplified install of the applications using information from the prior workspace. One or more new data volumes can be created using a snapshot from the prior workspace. Once configured, the new workspace instance can be made available to the user. The process can be repeated using the prior workspace bundle if an operating system downgrade is requested.
