Citrix heeft een nieuwe versie uitgegeven van haar Citrix Virtual Apps en Desktops, voorheen bekend onder de naam XenApp en XenDesktop, met versienummer 7 1811. Het Desktop-deel is een virtual desktop infrastructure, of kortweg vdi, voor het aanbieden van een gevirtualiseerde Windows-desktopomgeving. Het Virtual Apps-deel neemt het aanbieden van applicaties voor zijn rekening. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina. De nieuwe naam en versienummering werd bij de vorige uitgave geïntroduceerd. De what’s new-sectie van deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 1811 This product release includes the following new, modified, and enhanced features. Delivery Groups: New Studio interface for creating machine restart schedules In earlier releases, you used Studio to create a restart schedule for machines in a Delivery Group. To create multiple schedules, you used PowerShell cmdlets. Now, the updated Studio interface enables you to create and manage one or more restart schedules. For details, see Create and manage restart schedules for machines in a Delivery Group. Citrix Scout: AOT traces on network shares In earlier releases, Always On Tracking (AOT) traces that were saved to network shares were not included in collected diagnostics. Now, those traces are included. For details, see Citrix Scout. Machine catalogs: New functional level A new machine catalog functional level has been added. The default remains 7.9 (or newer). Keep that default, unless all of the VDAs in the catalog are version 1811 or later supported versions. For more information, see VDA versions and functional levels. Machine Creation Services (MCS) provisioning to AWS dedicated hosts This release adds support for Machine Creation Services (MCS) provisioning to AWS dedicated hosts. An administrator can create a catalog of machines with host tenancy defined through PowerShell. See AWS host tenancy support. Support for AWS IAM roles Citrix Studio supports the ability to configure an AWS Hosting Connection to use IAM roles by specifying role_based_auth in place of Access Key and Secret Key. An IAM Role defining the policy and permissions required by Citrix should be attached to AWS hosted Delivery Controllers or Cloud Connectors instances.
