Manage Images and Applications with Azure Compute Gallery
Azure Compute Gallery is a great option for managing Azure Images, including images for Azure Virtual Desktop, but it’s not limited to just images. Azure Compute Gallery can also manage Azure VM Applications. Azure Compute Gallery provides a centralized location to upload images and applications, create versions and replicate the images and applications to other Azure Regions. In this session we will review the features of Azure Compute Gallery and learn how to use it to manage VM images and Applications.
Know Your Directories, Windows AD, Entra ID, and Entra DS
If we have Entra ID, do we still need Windows AD? How about Entra Domain Services (Entra DS), what's that for? Microsoft has three directory services that have different purposes. This session digs into each for a better understanding of how they compare to one another. Then, we evaluate how to use them to better manage identities in an environment.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) with Azure Virtual Desktop
Ensuring uptime and resilience is critical when delivering desktops through Azure Virtual Desktop. This session takes a deep dive into business continuity and disaster recovery strategies specific to AVD environments. We’ll explore how to design for high availability, review options for cross-region replication of user profiles and session hosts images, and build failover host pools that keep your users connected—even when infrastructure fails. Whether supporting remote workers or mission-critical workloads, this session will equip you with the tools and knowledge to keep AVD running smoothly under pressure.
AVD Connectivity: RDP Shortpath and AVD Private Link
AVD is a publicly available service, but that may not work for organizations with strict compliance and regulatory requirements. There are now two options for using private networks to access AVD: RDP Shortpath and AVD Private Link. This session reviews both options and how they work with existing networks. Then, we dive into deployment considerations for each.
