Overview
Now with AWS SSO, SAML 2.0 and Cognito integration for Single-Sign on!
Guacamole is a browser based remote access tool that provides easy access to hosts in all your VPCs, across accounts and regions. Access to Windows desktops (RDP), Linux terminals (SSH) and Kubernetes Pods is supported. No client software needed, a modern browser is all you need. This also enables administrators in corporate environments behind restrictive proxies to access remote servers on AWS.
This product ships with version 1.5.5 of the popular open-source HTML5 RDP and SSH client Apache Guacamole and GuAWS, an agent that queries your AWS environment to automatically discover running instances.
GuAWS is continuously scanning your VPC for new instances using the AWS API. It also scans across VPC, account and regional boundaries where VPC Transit Gateways or VPC Peering Connections are used. Your servers are organized by VPC and security group which makes it easy to find the right instance and manage access. Additionally, connections opened by users are logged to CloudWatch Logs.
A user management system provides fine grained access control to individual groups or instances. Single sign-on authentication can easily be added through Amazon Cognito or other OpenID compliant providers such as Auth0, Okta or Duo. Multi-Factor authentication is provided by the built-in TOTP plugin that works with Google Authenticator or similar apps. Follow the Setup Instructions link in the sidebar for additional details.
Highlights
- AUTO DISCOVERY: Automatically discovers new resources in all your VPCs, cross-region, cross-account.
- AUDIT LOGS: Every connection is logged to CloudWatch Logs for traceability and audit needs.
- SINGLE SIGN-ON AND MFA: Enable Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-On for a seamless and secure user experience.

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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Access the application via a browser at https://[public_dns]/. The default user is guacadmin, the default password is the instance ID.
Most browsers will display a certificate warning. This warning is letting you know that the certificate was self-signed instead of signed by a trusted Certificate Authority. You can safely ignore the warning as it doesn't impact the security of the connection by clicking on "Continue to this webpage" (Internet Explorer) or "Advanced" and then "Proceed to website" (Chrome).
To connect to the underlying operating system of the EC2 instance connect via SSH with the username ec2-user.

Could not log into EC2 instance in private subnet
I wrote a simple user-data start-up script to
1) Set "PasswordAuthentication yes" (this seemed to work)
2) Set password for ec2-user. This password followed standard EC2 instance password policy.
3) These commands were issued as su
4) To be sure that my script was 100% correct, I ran similar commands to change/set the password and set "PasswordAuthentication yes" on my stand-alone Linux (Ubuntu) machine. Both the commands worked perfectly as expected
With my (small) instance charges running high for test/trail purpose, having made many attempts with many permutations with no visibility into start-up (error/failure) log and with my Guacamole Bastion's trail period coming to an end within a day, I though that it would be best to cancel this subscription.
excellent support!
