It allows users to experience a full Windows environment, including Windows 10 and Windows 11, and offers options for both full desktops and individual applications through RemoteApp. Key features include support for single-session and multi-session configurations, the ability to install custom apps, and management capabilities across different Windows operating systems.
How does Azure Virtual Desktop enhance scalability?
Azure Virtual Desktop enhances scalability through flexible configurations that can accommodate diverse workloads. It allows for the use of pooled, multi-session resources, which can significantly reduce the number of virtual machines needed. Additionally, the autoscale feature enables automatic adjustments in capacity based on user demand, helping to manage costs effectively.
What management tools are available for Azure Virtual Desktop?
Management of Azure Virtual Desktop environments can be done using several tools, including the Azure portal, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and REST API.
