Cloud formation template for modifying the compute type of AWS Workspaces

Question

HI All,
I had used AWS service catalog to enable self service provisioning of AWS workspaces via service now. However I am not able to perform the modification of Workspaces 'Compute Type'. Is there any reference cloud formation template which is available for performing the AWS workspaces modification?.

Answer

Hello,

The ComputeType is an attribute from the WorkspaceProperties entity, which have the following elements:

```yaml
  ComputeTypeName: String
  RootVolumeSizeGib: Integer
  RunningMode: String
  RunningModeAutoStopTimeoutInMinutes: Integer
  UserVolumeSizeGib: Integer
```
See the full reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-workspaces-workspace-workspaceproperties.html

For an example you can check https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-workspaces-cloudformation-template/blob/main/Workspace.yaml
In this case, for example, you will need to add the `ComputeTypeName` in:

```
      WorkspaceProperties:
        RunningMode: !Ref RunningModeType
        ComputeTypeName: !Ref ComputeType
```
