# Akamai Cloud Overview

Workspot supports for [Akamai Cloud](https://www.akamai.com/cloud). This is a selective feature: Contact Workspot if you are interested in enabling it.

### Features

- You can declare an Akamai Cloud subscription in Workspot Control (see [below](/v1/docs/akamai-cloud-overview#configuring-an-akamai-cloud-in-workspot-control)).
- You can add Akamai [unmanaged RD gateways](/v1/docs/remote-desktop-gateway-rdg-configuration-and-workspot-integration-guide)s in Control.
- [Workspot template support](/v1/docs/using-workspot-templates):
  - Register Akamai Windows templates in Control.
- Create Linux and Windows pools in Control:
  - [Persistent desktop pools](/v1/docs/control-desktop-pools).
  - [Non-persistent desktop pools](/v1/docs/control-desktop-pools).
  - [Application server pools](/v1/docs/workspot-application-server-pools-cloud-app-pools).
  - Sole-tenant and shared-tenant pools are supported.
- The [Workspot Windows Agent](/v1/docs/workspot-desktop-agent-installation-and-configuration) and [Workspot Linux Agent](/v1/docs/workspot-linux-desktops-and-apps) are both support.

### Limitations

- [Managed gateways](/v1/docs/managed-gateways-gateway-clusters) are not supported (use [unmanaged RD gateways](/v1/docs/remote-desktop-gateway-rdg-configuration-and-workspot-integration-guide)).
- [Time Limits Policies](/v1/docs/control-time-limit-policies) and power management are not supported (desktops run 24/7).
- Some pool operations are not supported: Update image, Agent token, bulk operations, image lock, VM migration.
- Some desktop details are not available.
- [Helpdesk Admin role](/v1/docs/control-helpdesk-and-support-administrator-roles) is not supported.
