Streamed Applications That Do Not Leak Data by Default
Amazon WorkSpaces Applications, formerly AppStream 2.0. AWS enables every session action by default, including copying out, file download and local printing, and never disconnects idle users. This module sets all eight actions with the outbound ones off, a 15-minute idle timeout and no default internet access, and can keep streaming on an interface endpoint.

Documentation
aws-workspaces-applications
Amazon WorkSpaces Applications, formerly AppStream 2.0 (the Terraform resources
are still aws_appstream_*). Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6),
aws provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
AWS lets data leave through the session by default. Every stack user setting is enabled unless you say otherwise: copying from the session to the user's device, downloading files and printing locally included. This module sets all eight settings explicitly, with those three off and pasting and uploading into the session on. Each is a variable.
Idle users are never disconnected by default. AWS's idle timeout is 0; this module disconnects after 15 minutes without input, and caps a session at 8 hours.
No default internet access. The fleet reaches the internet only through your subnets' routing, such as a NAT gateway.
Streaming can be kept off the internet. With private_streaming, the module
creates the streaming interface endpoint and names it on the stack, after which
users cannot stream over the internet endpoint. They still need the internet to
sign in, and AWS does not support this for fleets running a Windows Desktop
operating system.
This module does not decide who may stream. Users reach the stack through a user pool, SAML federation or a streaming URL, all configured outside it.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
aws-image-builder
A pipeline with no schedule builds when somebody clicks, so the golden image ages until a person remembers it; image tests are the switch turned off to save an hour and scanning is off unless enabled; and the build instance's metadata service can hand its credentials to whatever a step downloads. Weekly rebuilds when a dependency changed, tests and scanning on, IMDSv2-only builds.
aws-lightsail-instance
A Lightsail instance is created with 22 and 80 open to every address; its public address changes when it stops unless a static IP is attached, and every DNS record pointing at it is then wrong; and automatic snapshots are off. The port list replaced by your rules with SSH from anywhere accepted by name, a static IP attached, and the daily AutoSnapshot add-on on at the hour you choose.
aws-ssm-patch-manager
A patch baseline that approves security patches after a delay, the patch group that binds instances to it by tag, and a maintenance window that runs AWS-RunPatchBaseline on a schedule with the output in CloudWatch. Install rather than Scan (scan-only by name), RebootIfNeeded, and unapproved security updates counted as non-compliant so the approval delay shows on the dashboard.
aws-batch
Batch does not retry by default, so a reclaimed spot instance or a timed-out image pull ends as FAILED - reported as if the job failed on its merits, which is how somebody ends up debugging working code. Retries infrastructure failures and exits on real ones.
aws-ec2-instance
EC2 instance with IMDSv2, encrypted EBS, instance profile, and EIP - secure defaults out of the box.
aws-autoscaling
EC2 launch template and Auto Scaling group with IMDSv2 enforced, encrypted gp3 root volume, an egress-only security group, and scale-to-zero defaults so it applies cleanly with no compute cost.
