กระทู้: Azure VDI

Windows Virtual Desktop is a cloud-hosted remote desktop platform that enables organizations to deliver Windows desktops and applications to off-site users. Built on Microsoft Azure, it provides scalable infrastructure, centralized management, and integration with AAD and other MS services.

Key components

- session host groups contain session servers that run user sessions.
- session servers are Windows virtual machines deployed in Azure.
- app groups publish full desktops or single apps.
- FSLogix containers manage profile disks for stable user experiences.
- Azure Files storage https://github.com/azvdesk/Azure-Virtual-Desktop/releases or Azure NetApp Files provide profile storage and shared folders.

Benefits

Microsoft AVD delivers adaptability by enabling telework and supporting personal devices scenarios. It offers cost optimization through session-based desktops and elastic scaling that reduce compute spend. Operational administrative efficiency comes from single-pane management, integration with Azure Monitor and Azure Policy.

Deployment and management

Deploying Microsoft AVD typically involves creating session host groups, configuring app groups, and assigning users through Azure Active Directory. Administrators can use the portal, PowerShell scripts, or infrastructure as code for orchestration. For profile management, configure FSLogix with file storage or Azure NetApp Files backed profile stores.

Security and compliance

Security is enforced through Azure AD CA, Multi-Factor Authentication, and network controls such as firewall and security groups. Data protection is achieved with disk encryption, encryption in transit, and RBAC. For regulatory compliance, AVD supports enterprise security standards and integrates with policy engine for auditing.
