Study Notes

Azure Virtual Desktop, or AVD, is a cloud-hosted virtual desktop environment.
Azure has transitioned the licensing cost of Microsoft 365 or Windows per-user license to AVD, which can help you save money as you move to AVD service in the cloud.
Using AVD daily gives a business the agility and scalability it needs in the current world for enterprises to grow.
Going to AVD, you remain compliant with critical industry regulations like HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOX, SOC 1, and SOC 2.
Employees using virtual desktops to access their daily work can maintain focus better and ultimately get more done if their system lets them move at their desired pace without waiting.
For organizations hosting virtual desktop infrastructure, or VDI, in the cloud, the virtual machine configurations they select determine the number of users accessing virtual desktops and how well they perform.
Enterprises want employees to be more productive and spend more time doing things than waiting on tasks to finish. Therefore, the user experience is critical regarding a performant virtual desktop experience.
With our latest 3rd gen Intel Xeon platinum processor in the Azure cloud, you can get the best performance for its AVD experience.
There are many things to consider determining what kind of instances you need to configure for AVD such as do you need a personal or pooled host pool, what kind of workloads will they be hosting or exposing through your AVD solution, have a multi-OS solution or a single OS solution, or what kind of users are you going to have?
Light, knowledge worker or advanced?
Based on the types of users, with light usage, you may go with D4 VS5, an instance with less compute and memory. For knowledge workers or advanced or complex use, you might choose a D16 SV5. There are a lot of other factors to consider when you're setting up.
