How Azure Virtual Desktop fits into Azure

Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop) is an integral part of the Azure ecosystem. Here's how it fits:

Azure Virtual Desktop is a comprehensive desktop and app virtualization service running on Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform. It leverages the power and scalability of Azure to deliver a virtualized computing environment that can be accessed from virtually anywhere.

Here are a few key ways Azure Virtual Desktop integrates with and complements the larger Azure platform:

Scalability and Flexibility:

As a service built on Azure, Azure Virtual Desktop can easily scale according to business needs. It leverages Azure's robust infrastructure, allowing you to add or reduce desktops as required, providing significant operational flexibility.

Security and Compliance:

Azure Virtual Desktop takes full advantage of Azure's security features, including Azure Security Center, Azure Sentinel, and Azure Monitor. It also benefits from Azure's compliance coverage, the most comprehensive of any cloud service provider.

Cost Management:

Azure Cost Management and Billing provide tools to monitor, allocate, and optimize costs, making it easier to manage Azure Virtual Desktop resource expenses.

Integration with Azure Services:

Azure Virtual Desktop can seamlessly integrate with various other Azure services. For example, you can use Azure Logic Apps for automating tasks, Azure Active Directory for identity and access management, Azure Traffic Manager for routing traffic, or Azure Storage for scalable and secure data storage.

Management and Monitoring:

You can use Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, and Azure Resource Manager templates for deployment, management, and monitoring of Azure Virtual Desktop.

Development and Testing:

Azure Virtual Desktop provides an ideal environment for developers to build, test, and deploy their applications. This includes support for a range of development tools, frameworks, and services available within Azure.

In summary, Azure Virtual Desktop not only integrates seamlessly with the Azure platform, but also amplifies the capabilities of Azure, offering a complete, secure, and powerful solution for desktop and app virtualization.
