Opening Cloud for Capella on a webpage environment

Add-ons
1

Hi,

Watching the video Cloud for Capella there are a number of steps to follow to start Capella:

  1. Enter Cloud for Capella using a shortcut
  2. Enter credentials to get access to remote desktop.
  3. Click and start Capella from remote desktop.

Would it rather be possible (and potentially a more user friendly experience) to:

  1. Using a dedicated Webpage environment to log-in; this may imply in the background a log-in to a remote desktop.
  2. On a successful log-in, show and display the Capella client environment on the Webpage; in the background it may imply opening a Capella client and show to the logged in user.

This would remove several steps and the intermediary remote desktop environment and starting the Capella client.

Any thoughts on how to implement the above?

Thanks,
Hélder Castro

Hi Helder,

New deployments of Cloud for Capella are based on a different stack using AWS Appstream 2.0 as shown in June during T4C Webinar:

  • User have access to a landing page to login
  • Then the have a shortcut to launch Capella (soem suer might have access to additional applications)
  • Capella is launched in their browser without having access or intermediate step on a remote desktop.

So your proposition is already implemented :wink:

Hi @Maxime,

Thanks for your reply and reference to the Webinar.

That’s great to have a simplified process to launch the Capella client.

I believe the second step described above may be to launch applications other than Capella, but would it be possible to login, AND request to start and launch Capella (transparent to the user) on the browser?

Thanks.

Hi Helder,

Right now, after login in our AWS organization landing page, it simply present to the user the catalog off service he has access to.
Some users might have access to several deployments of C4C or in a specific deployment have access to Capella, to some administration features of the T4C Server (Scheduler, REST api, license token monitoring).

The idea behind AWS AppStream 2.0 usage is that asking to launch Capella will trigger the creation and start of a dedicated VM instance on demand, configured with the user profile, data, configuration, applications and shutdown/destroyed at the end of the session.

I am currently not aware of a direct access capability after authentication on the url.
