Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
Azure virtual desktop is a solution provided by Microsoft to host VDIs in the Azure cloud. The customer is end to end responsible for the build and management of VDIs. Microsoft’s responsibility is to manage AVD gateways and the rest of the server-side components related to gateway services.
AVD is a modern VDI solution build with native cloud architecture in mind. AVD offers integration with other on-prem VDI players like Citrix and VMware.
