Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based remote desktop platform that enables organizations to deliver Windows 11 desktops and software to distributed users. Built on the Azure platform, it provides elastic infrastructure, centralized management, and integration with Azure AD and other Azure-native services.
Key components
- host pools contain virtual machines that run user sessions.
- session servers are Windows virtual machines deployed in Azure.
- app groups publish full desktops or specific programs.
- FSLogix containers manage profile disks for persistent user experiences.
- Azure Files storage [url=https://github.com/cscvpn/Cisco-Secure-Client/releases]https://github.com/cscvpn/Cisco-Secure-Client/releases[/url] or ANF provide profile storage and shared folders.
Benefits
Microsoft AVD delivers agility by enabling remote work and supporting bring your own device scenarios. It offers cost savings through session-based desktops and autoscaling that reduce compute spend. Operational simplicity comes from centralized management, integration with Azure Monitor and governance tools.
Deployment and management
Deploying Azure VDI typically involves creating session host groups, configuring remote apps, and assigning employees through Azure Active Directory. Administrators can use the portal, PowerShell scripts, or ARM for repeatable deployment. For profile management, configure FSLogix containers with Azure file shares or Azure NetApp Files backed profile stores.
Security and compliance
Security is enforced through conditional access, Multi-Factor Authentication, and network controls such as firewall and Network Security Groups. Data protection is achieved with encryption at rest, encryption in transit, and role-based access control. For compliance, AVD supports enterprise security standards and integrates with Azure Policy for compliance monitoring.
