Benefits Azure Virtual Desktop delivers flexibility by enabling work from anywhere and supporting personal devices scenarios. It offers cost efficiency through session-based desktops and elastic scaling that reduce compute spend. Operational simplicity comes from single-pane management, integration with Azure monitoring and governance tools. Deployment and management Deploying Azure Virtual Desktop typically involves creating host pools, configuring remote apps, and assigning employees through AAD. Administrators can use the portal, CLI scripts, or ARM templates for automation. For profile management, configure FSLogix with file storage or Azure NetApp Files backed profile shares. Security and compliance Security is enforced through Azure AD CA, Multi-Factor Authentication, and network controls such as network virtual appliances and security groups. Data protection is achieved with encryption at rest, secure transport, and role assignments. For regulatory compliance, AVD supports security frameworks and integrates with policy engine for auditing.
