Amazon AppStream vs wkhtmltopdf: What are the differences?

What is Amazon AppStream? Stream resource intensive applications and games from the cloud. AppStream deploys and renders your application on AWS infrastructure and streams the output to mass-market devices, such as personal computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Because your application is running in the cloud, it can scale to handle vast computational and storage needs, regardless of the devices your customers are using. You can choose to stream either all or parts of your application from the cloud. Amazon AppStream enables use cases for games and applications that wouldn’t be possible running natively on mass-market devices. Using Amazon AppStream, your games and applications are no longer constrained by the hardware in your customer’s hands.

What is wkhtmltopdf? Convert HTML to PDF using Webkit (QtWebKit). wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the QT Webkit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service.

Amazon AppStream and wkhtmltopdf are primarily classified as "Application Streaming" and "File Conversion" tools respectively.
