Working with private devices in AWS Device Farm

A private device is a physical mobile device that AWS Device Farm deploys on your behalf in an Amazon data center. This device is exclusive to your AWS account.

Note

Currently, private devices are available only in the AWS US West (Oregon) Region (us-west-2).

If you have a private device fleet, you can create remote access sessions and schedule test runs with your private devices. You can also create instance profiles to control the behavior of your private devices during a remote access session or a test run. For more information, see Managing private devices in AWS Device Farm. Optionally, you can request that certain Android private devices be deployed as rooted devices.

You can also create an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud endpoint service to test private apps that your company has access to, but are not reachable through the internet. For example, you might have a web application running in your VPC that you want to test on mobile devices. For more information, see Using Amazon VPC endpoint services with Device Farm.

If you're interested in using a fleet of private devices, contact us. The Device Farm team must work with you to set up and deploy a fleet of private devices for your AWS account.
