Remote Desktop based on NVIDIA GRID and NICE DCV

Overview

This is a Linux remote desktop based on the NVIDIA GRID driver and NICE DCV. After starting, users can directly access it remotely using a graphical interface through a browser or NICE DCV client, so they can easily start cloud office, cloud design, cloud rendering, cloud gaming, etc. For Amazon Web Serviecs G4 instances, Remote Desktop is pre-installed with GRID drivers for NVIDIA T4 graphics cards to better support scenarios such as graphics rendering and remote desktop display; the NICE DCV server side is pre-installed to support high-quality remote desktop connections. Remote Desktop is cloud-based, so users can complete projects from their office, home, or anywhere using an internet-connected computer.

The Amazon EC2 G4 instance is equipped with an NVIDIA T4 video card and requires a corresponding GPU driver to work with it. The official Amazon Web Services documentation provides installation steps for drivers that have been authorized by Nvidia for G4 instances, such as Tesla, GRID, and Gaming, to meet the needs of different scenarios. Among them, GRID drivers provide the best performance for professional visualization applications that render 3D models or high-resolution videos. Remote Desktop comes pre-installed with a GRID driver to help users save time and effort from manual installation.

NICE DCV is a high-performance remote display protocol that provides users with a secure and efficient way to transfer remote desktops to local devices, and is free to use on Amazon EC2. Remote Desktop comes pre-installed with NICE DCV server-side software and is configured to automatically launch software and sessions, helping users save time and effort from manual installation and configuration.

Combined with the pre-installed NVIDIA GRID driver and NICE DCV server-side software, users can directly start using CentOS's remote desktop function without configuration after starting the instance. Remote Desktop is built on CentOS 7.

Highlights

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions

Instructions for use: Users can use this AMI to launch an EC2 instance, and no other configuration is required to launch a remote desktop. Users can access it in their browser at https://实例公有IP地址或域名:8443#my-session ; or download the NICE DCV client (https://download.nice-dcv.com/ ）输入实例公有IP地址或域名进行访问. The user name for access is dcv-user, and the password is the ID of the instance.

Launching this AMI through Marketplace will automatically configure security group policies and open port 8443. If you need to improve security, you can limit the allowed IP sources for port 8443 in the security group. For details, you can use the following document: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/zh_cn/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/authorizing-access-to-an-instance.html

dcvserver and dcvsession are already running as system services and are set to run automatically when the instance starts. If you need to change the password, log in to the instance and modify the last line in the /usr/bin/dcvsession.sh file to modify the password for the Linux user dcv-user.
