I have a new Citrix virtual desktop environment running in AWS, the server are running on general purpose M4 instances at the moment but i noticed the users are using a lot of memory per session. To increase the number of users per server I would like to use R4 instances which have more memory. Just wondering if anyone has used R4 instances for Citrix and if they have ad any issues.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
