Deploying Host pool In Azure Virtual Desktop

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) or Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) allows users to connect from any device and access their desktop or apps from the cloud. This is similar to "Desktop as a Service," but it is hosted in the Azure cloud. Windows Virtual Desktop provides a Windows session-sharing environment that is still individualized and persistent. While it provides a Windows 7-like experience, most businesses prefer Windows 10 because of its longer-term support. And it gets the most important O365 apps out to your staff.

Windows Virtual Desktop is a great example of the fluid flexibility that is being adopted by businesses as part of their digital transformations. Users are not limited in any way to their usual desktop experience. Both the Windows Virtual Desktop native client application and a Windows Virtual Desktop HTML5 web client are required for access.
