Sure, I can explain which components or services in Azure Virtual Desktop are managed by the customer and which are managed by Microsoft.
Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop) is a desktop and application virtualization service that runs on the Azure cloud platform. It allows users to access virtual desktops and applications from anywhere on any device.
In terms of management, Azure Virtual Desktop solution can be divided into two parts: the Azure infrastructure and the Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
The Azure infrastructure includes the underlying components and services that support the Azure Virtual Desktop solution, such as the Azure Virtual Network and Azure AD. These components are managed by the customer as they are responsible for configuring and managing these services according to their own requirements.
Here's a breakdown of each component and service and who manages them:
A. Azure Virtual Network - The Azure Virtual Network is a private network that enables communication between Azure resources. As a customer, you are responsible for creating and configuring the virtual network, subnets, and network security groups to ensure secure communication between your Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure and other resources.
B. Web Access - Web Access is a web portal that allows users to connect to their virtual desktops and applications. As a customer, you are responsible for configuring and managing Web Access according to your own requirements. This includes setting up authentication methods and customizing the portal to meet your branding requirements.
C. Azure AD - Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service that provides secure authentication and authorization for your Azure resources. As a customer, you are responsible for creating and managing users, groups, and policies in Azure AD to control access to your Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
On the other hand, the Azure Virtual Desktop environment includes the virtual machines, virtual desktops, and virtual applications that are deployed on the Azure infrastructure. These components are managed by Microsoft, as they are responsible for providing the virtualization technology, updating and patching the operating system and software, and ensuring the availability and performance of the environment.
Here's a breakdown of each component and service and who manages them:
D. Azure Virtual Desktop Session hosts - Azure Virtual Desktop Session hosts are virtual machines that host the user sessions for the virtual desktops and applications. Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure of these virtual machines, including the operating system, software updates, and security patches.
E. Azure Virtual Desktop Workspace - Azure Virtual Desktop Workspace is the environment that provides access to the virtual desktops and applications for the users. Microsoft manages the infrastructure that hosts the Azure Virtual Desktop Workspace, including the virtual machines, load balancers, and other components required for providing a high-performance and highly available workspace.
F. Gateway - The Azure Virtual Desktop Gateway is a component that enables remote access to the Azure Virtual Desktop environment. Microsoft manages the infrastructure of the Gateway, including the load balancers, network security groups, and other components required for providing secure remote access to the Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
In summary, as a customer, you are responsible for managing the Azure infrastructure components such as Azure Virtual Network, Web Access, and Azure AD, while Microsoft manages the Azure Virtual Desktop environment components such as Azure Virtual Desktop Session hosts, Azure Virtual Desktop Workspace, and Gateway.
