More ways to use Azure Virtual Desktop! Richard chats with Travis Roberts about how Azure Virtual Desktop continues to evolve and provides more options for remote users. Travis talks about how AVD grew out of Terminal Services and so is still very much an IaaS offering - as opposed to Windows 365, which is more PaaS, with less flexibility, but easier deployment. But when you need control, AVD is the way to go, and today will operate in Azure, on-premises via Azure Local. And if you've got an existing virtual desktop infrastructure, AVD Hybrid opens the door to running in a hybrid environment across on-prem and cloud, or to providing a smooth migration path. Lots of choices!
