# WorkSpaces EC2

In the **WorkSpaces EC2** tab, administrators can view and manage EC2-backed WorkSpaces instances. The interface displays a summary of each instance, including its state, region, current user, IP address, compute type, and any applied schedule.

Each instance can also be opened in more detail by clicking its name. This brings you to the **Instance Details** page. Here you can view real time CPU and Memory Utilisation, check the availability of root and user volumes, and access additional metadata such as account ID, availablity zone and public/private IPs. You can also view, add or remove tags as needed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
To view real-time metrics the [WSM Performance Monitor agent](https://install.nuvens.cloud/overview/workspaces-performance-monitor-agent) must be installed on the instance. Without the agent data will not be available in the Instance Details view.
{% endhint %}

You can also adjust scheduling by editing the **EC2 Schedule**, This allows you to define specific working hours (e.g., weekdays 09:00–19:00) to control when instances automatically start and stop. To configure this, simply click **Modify Schedule** on the instance. Scheduled automation like this helps optimize performance and reduce unnecessary costs by ensuring EC2 instances only run when needed.
