    Paste a single PowerShell command into your new server and the script walks you through the rest interactively.

    Stream your desktop to any device using Sunshine (Moonlight), Parsec, or Amazon DCV with low latency from dozens of global regions.

<Note>
  All of this could be outdated in the future! A platform or real desktop can futher automate all setup required to do all of this, as planned. For right now, the old setup and everything listed in the docs, still work fine.
