Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Virtual Machines and Azure Virtual Desktop

In an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment, Microsoft manages the connection broker, gateway, and load balancing components as a service, while you remain responsible for managing the session host virtual machines.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is true because Microsoft manages the control plane infrastructure for Azure Virtual Desktop, leaving the user responsible for managing the session host virtual machines.
In Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft provides the control plane infrastructure (which includes the connection broker, gateway, load balancing, and diagnostics) as a fully managed service. The customer only needs to deploy, configure, and maintain the session host virtual machines that execute user sessions.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Understand the architecture of Azure Virtual Desktop.
Identify that it separates the management control plane from the actual compute resources (session hosts) running user workloads.
To analyze which components are handled by Microsoft as a service versus the customer.
2
Identify the responsibilities for each component.
Determine that infrastructure components like the connection broker, gateway, and load balancer are managed by Microsoft, while session host virtual machines, applications, and user profiles are managed by the customer.
To verify if the statement accurately reflects the split of responsibilities.
