Azure Virtual Desktop: Implement an AVD Infrastructure from Pluralsight

Explore the implementation steps in deploying an Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure in this course.

Now that you’ve gone through the planning and design process for your Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure, it’s time to start implementation in this learning path. In this course, Azure Virtual Desktop: Implement an AVD Infrastructure, you'll delve into the steps needed to deploy an Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure. First, you'll explore the deployment of host pools and session hosts into your Azure subscription. Next, you'll discover the creation and management processes in customizing those session host images. Then, you'll shift gears and learn the implementation and management tasks for storage in AVD. Finally, you'll dig deeply into AVD's networking, including a look at Microsoft's recommended Hub-and-Spoke design pattern along with the implementation of RDP Shortpath. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to deploy a production ready AVD architecture in your organization.
