My coworker dropped me a link to free VMs for running Windows with IE11 and Edge. Part 2 is: how am I supposed to connect my localhost/dev-env to the virtual destop? A docker image? An ngrok tunnel? TBC. Done!Įventually I was able to activate my virtual desktop in Windows and load IE11. To make sure the virtual desktop had internet, I set the IP Outbound Access Control to include port 80 and HTTP 443. I associated the private and public subnet route tables my internet gateway and deleted the NAT gateway. As it turns out, by day 2 I had racked up $6.37 CAD running a NAT gateway (required to expose the private subnet) for 24-30 hours.Īccording to their doc, Amazon suggests creating a VPC endpoint to EC2 to get around the NAT charges. In sum, the free tier is a bit deceptive. This book also really helped with understanding some of the AWS acronyms. You can create users (and various privilege user groups) with AWS' Identity Access Management (IAM) or they'll ask you to create usernames and logins when you try to launch a workspace.

When creating a Workspace Directory, Amazon Web Services makes user choose between Active Directory Connector Plans.Īfter some digging, I found there are concessions on Amazon's Directory for a limited free trial for 1-2 hours, so I proceeded to make empty admin, user accounts and directories.Īs it turns out, it's possible to not even use this AD Connector or AWS Managed Microsoft directory. and this is where the lockstep of paywalls began. You can register for a free trial of Azure, but doesn't include the Azure Active Directory Domain Services.

Eventually I created 1 VPC with 2 private subnets, 2 public subnets, 1 Elastic IP and 1 NAT gateway.ĭisclaimer: You'll need to enter your credit card info when you register for free AWS and Azure trials.Īccording to implementation guides, Azure Active Directory (a user management system) is used to provision access to Workspaces.
I decided to follow a hybrid of this implementation guide and this video to see how far I could go. I had heard a peer was able to hook up their staging environment to an Amazon Workspace for about $20/month. (Granted, each session is 1 hour on this tier and you can make Workspaces for up to 50 users, but I don't know how much they'll charge for other services.) Micro-win!Īmazon Workspaces is free on AWS' Free Tier until June 30 due to Covid-freelancer offers. With 30 sec remaining, I was able to see the app login page load on IE Edge. They even have a GUI app called Underpass to make it easy to connect your locally hosted app to their browser-based testing site.īut in 4 minutes, I had exceeded the 6 sessions that came with the free trial. Lambda Test offers 100 min free per month.

If anyone knows of a better way to go about this, or how to make this an env that scales such that 2+ users can use it on a shoestring budget, I'd be interested to know!īrowserStack appears to be the most widely used upon a quick survey of TorontoJS folks. In the sense of "test" here, I'm trying to solve the problem of seeing whether the UX/design is implemented correctly across browsers. I have given myself the arcane challenge of trying to test a web app on IE11 for free.
