Microsoft AVD is a cloud-hosted virtual workspace platform that enables organizations to deliver Windows 11 desktops and software to remote users. Built on the Azure platform, it provides dynamic infrastructure, centralized management, and integration with AAD and other Microsoft services.
Key components
- session host groups contain session servers that run user sessions.
- session servers are client OS virtual machines deployed in the Azure cloud.
- app groups publish entire desktop sessions or individual applications.
- FSLogix profile containers manage user profiles for consistent user experiences.
- Azure file shares

Benefits
Azure VDI delivers flexibility by enabling remote work and supporting personal devices scenarios. It offers cost savings through multi-session capability and automatic scaling that reduce compute spend. Operational administrative efficiency comes from centralized control, integration with Azure monitoring and Azure Policy.
Deployment and management
Deploying Azure VDI typically involves creating host pools, configuring app groups, and assigning users through Azure Active Directory. Administrators can use the Azure Portal, PowerShell scripts, or ARM templates for automation. For profile management, configure FSLogix profile containers with file storage or Azure NetApp Files backed profile shares.
Security and compliance
Security is enforced through conditional access, MFA, and network controls such as firewall and NSGs. Data protection is achieved with disk encryption, secure transport, and role-based access control. For standards adherence, AVD supports enterprise controls and integrates with policy engine for auditing.
