Description

Set up DCV on an AWS EC2 instance.

This may be used for L3 and L4, so we'd like to know:

  • What would the researcher and output checker user experience be like? Try launching Chrome, using Airlock (or something similar) and viewing spreadsheet files.
  • What is the dev user experience like? Try running some command-line tools and viewing large log files.

Research direction

Start by setting up DCV on an AWS EC2 instance, then exercise the researcher and output-checker paths described in the issue: launch Chrome, use Airlock or a similar tool, and view spreadsheets. Also try command-line tools and large log files as a developer; done means documenting the observed user experience for each workflow and any relevant limitations.
