Ubuntu AWS Workspace

We've been toying with switching to cloud based desktops, specifically AWS Workspace. Is there support for Ubuntu desktops though? To this point I've only been able to generate Windows environments.

UPDATE: Amazon Workspaces now supports Amazon Linux 2, an offshoot of CentOS.

Update: Workspaces now have a linux option, in case anyone finds this.

AWS Workspaces only supports Windows at the moment.

From the product description:

Amazon WorkSpaces is a managed, secure cloud desktop service. You can use Amazon WorkSpaces to provision either Windows or Linux desktops
