Migrate AutoCAD on-premise workload to AWS

There are a couple of external references from Autodesk University.

You'll either need GPU WorkSpaces, or you could try to run non-GPU apps on standard WorkSpaces and spawn the AutoCAD processes off to AppStream 2.0. GPU-based workspaces are hourly-only, and they're currently limited to single-monitor.

We were able to run the entire Autodesk suite on GPU WorkSpaces at AU2016, including Revit, 3DSMax, Inventor, Fusion, etc....but it did require more storage than the default offering. Now that we have resizable storage it shouldn't be a barrier.
