Remote Desktops: Ensuring Performance and Security with Apache Guacamole - Mike Jumper

Presented by: Mike Jumper, Glyptodon
Presented at All Things Open 2020 - Projects Track
Abstract: Due to the pandemic, organizations have had to support a fully remote workforce with little time, and many remote desktop deployments were rushed. The first priority was access, with security and performance taking a temporary backseat.
Now, however, it’s time to ensure end-users have a reliable, high-performant experience and that access is secure. Mike Jumper, Apache Guacamole PMC chair and CEO of Glyptodon, will provide a technical guide of best practices to deploy, configure and maintain Apache Guacamole to ensure a safe and snappy remote desktop experience. Topics will include:
- Reverse proxy configuration
- Authentication extensions
- Multi-factor authentication
- Back-end hardware requirements

Question - Is it possible to load balanced gucamole for HA? I am exloring the posibilities of putting this behind something like HA proxy and have two guac instances on two separate vms in for HA? would this be possible? Can it be done with just ngnix? thanks
