Learn how to get MATLAB^® up and running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) with the help of a reference architecture. The reference architecture incorporates best practices for creating a full MATLAB desktop experience, including a connection from your local desktop using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). When running MATLAB in AWS, you can efficiently access data you store in Amazon S3 and analyze that data quickly by taking advantage of on-demand, high-performance compute resources available in AWS. All you need is a MATLAB license configured for cloud use and an AWS account with appropriate permissions.
