Creating your First Azure Virtual Desktop Solution

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a cloud-based desktop and application virtualization service that enables secure remote access to Windows desktops and applications. It provides organizations with a flexible, scalable solution for delivering virtual desktop infrastructure while simplifying IT management and reducing costs. The service consists of three core components: host pools (containing virtual machines), application groups (managing resource access), and workspaces (organizing resources for end users).

In this lab, you will learn how to set up a complete Azure Virtual Desktop environment by creating and configuring these essential components.
