WorkSpaces & Desktop Decommission¶

💻 Endpoint Cost Optimization | Commands: runbooks finops workspaces-decommission-analysis, runbooks finops analyze-workspaces

Overview¶

Identify unused WorkSpaces and AppStream instances with activity-based scoring.

When to Use¶

Scenario	Command	Savings Potential
Bi-Weekly Unused Session Review	`runbooks finops workspaces-decommission-analysis --all-profiles --threshold 70`	$1K-$2K/month
WorkSpaces Right-Sizing	`runbooks finops analyze-workspaces --all-profiles`	$300-$800 per workspace
AppStream Decommission	`runbooks finops appstream-decommission-analysis --all-profiles`	Variable by usage

Usage Examples¶

Example 1: Unused WorkSpaces Identification (5 min)

runbooks finops workspaces-decommission-analysis \
  --all-profiles \
  --threshold 70 \
  --output-dir ./workspace-targets

# Output: workspace-targets/decommission.csv
# 30-40 unused sessions:
# - Monthly cost ($35-$50/workspace)
# - Last login (>30 days)
# - Confidence score (70-100 = safe to terminate)
# - Total savings: $1.2K-$1.8K/month

Example 2: Bundle Right-Sizing (3 min)

runbooks finops analyze-workspaces \
  --all-profiles \
  --filter overprovisioned \
  --min-monthly-cost 100

# Output: Workspaces with:
# - Current bundle (e.g., Power)
# - Recommended bundle (e.g., Standard)
# - Monthly savings ($15-$25 per workspace)
# - Total potential: $400-$800/month

Example 3: Executive Cost Report (2 min)

runbooks finops workspaces-decommission-analysis \
  --all-profiles \
  --format pdf \
  --output-dir ./reports

# Output: PDF with:
# - Total WorkSpaces inventory
# - Usage distribution (active, idle, unused)
# - Cost by business unit
# - Recommendations with ROI
