Difficulty: HardAzure Virtual Machines and Azure Virtual Desktop

A university needs to provide 150150 students with temporary access to a Windows 11 environment for a lab exercise. The requirements are:

* Minimize compute costs by allowing multiple student sessions to run concurrently on each virtual machine.
* Minimize administrative effort by using a service where Microsoft manages the connection brokering, gateway, and web access components.

Which Azure service or feature should the university implement?

  1. A
    Azure Virtual Machines running Windows 11 Enterprise
  2. B
    Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets
  3. Azure Virtual DesktopAnswer
  4. D
    Azure App Service

Answer

Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop is the only service that natively supports multi-session Windows 11 Enterprise, allowing multiple users to run concurrent sessions on a single virtual machine to save compute costs. Additionally, as a managed desktop virtualization service, it shifts the responsibility of managing the gateway, connection broker, and licensing infrastructure to Microsoft, reducing administrative effort.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirement for multi-session support on Windows 11.
Identify that only Azure Virtual Desktop supports Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session capability, allowing multiple users to connect concurrently to the same virtual machine.
Standard virtual machines running Windows client operating systems only support single-user connections.
2
Analyze the administrative management requirement.
Establish that Azure Virtual Desktop is a managed service that handles the connection broker, gateway, and web access components.
This minimizes the administrative overhead compared to managing remote desktop services (RDS) on standard virtual machines or scale sets.
3
Select the correct service.
Choose Azure Virtual Desktop as it matches all requirements.
It enables multi-session Windows 11 client environments while shifting the management of control plane infrastructure to Microsoft.

Key Concept

Azure Virtual Desktop provides multi-session Windows 11 capability and manages virtual desktop infrastructure components.
