Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) – Discover what’s new
🔹 Feature: Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) – Discover what’s new and how it benefits you:
✅ Hybrid Deployment with Azure Arc
Run AVD in a hybrid model on existing servers/VMs via Azure Arc.
Skip the need for new hardware—just install agents/extensions on current VMs.
Enables smooth, incremental migration to the cloud.
✅ B2B Collaboration for External Users – sell your app via AVD
Add external partners as guest users with their own identities.
Supports Conditional Access & MFA for secure interactions.
Simplifies external user management for AVD resources.
✅ Regional Resilience Improvements
AVD metadata now replicated across multiple regions within a geography.
Regional deployment scope helps isolate failures effectively.
Reduces risks of cross-region impacts.
✅ Ephemeral Disk Host Pools & Autoscaling
Ephemeral disks = faster boot times & rapid deployments.
Dynamic autoscaling required due to non-traditional VM stopping/rebooting.
Storage costs? Nearly zero—compute only!
✅ Enhanced Stability with RDP Multipath
RDP leverages multipath networking for seamless path switching.
Fewer disconnects, ~2x higher mean time to failure.
Zero admin effort required—no configuration needed.
✅ Improved Monitoring & Migration Tools
New Windows 365 reporting with rich visualizations & export features.
Migration API for moving personal desktops from traditional VDI to Windows 365.
Simplifies management & eases transition to cloud PC models.
