Session Information

Prerequisites :

• This workshop is open for Ingram Micro Cloud Partners with existing AVD installations licensed through the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace
• Students should have a thorough knowledge of Azure Virtual Desktop installations. You know how to install AVD manually already and you know the Fundamental components of an Azure installation
• When your training subscription is confirmed, we will ask you to prepare an Azure Tenant with some predefined resources before the course will start. You can do these steps some days before the training starts.
• A good idea is to follow the courses ‘Azure Virtual Desktop: Setup a POC’ and ‘Azure Virtual Desktop Advanced’ before following this course.

To optimize the Azure Consumption in an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) deployment, you should include some Automation tasks to power-up or shutdown your resources on an effective way. Ingram Micro Cloud has made a whole AVD Automated Deployment and Management Solution for you by making use of Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS).

During this workshop, you will learn how to deploy, adapt and maintain an AVD installation by making use of Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) technology.

The solution will provide the following benefits:

• Greatly simplified (software) life cycle management by (automatically) replacing existing AVD session hosts with new ones based on your latest central image.
• Simplified scaling, either based on a pre-set time schedule or dynamical
