Deploying your Desktops in the Cloud with Windows Virtual Desktop can be a challenge as built-in applications such as FSLogix, Teams, latest Windows patches and performance optimization are not includes out of the box. To overcome these challenges Azure Image Builder (AIB) can be used to streamline and simplify the image creation process.
AIB is developed for Azure to assist with the automated creation of images such as Windows 10 Enterprise single and multi-session on Azure as part of Windows Virtual Desktop. Support for Azure Shared Image gallery, global replication, and some exclusive new demo's that show future upcoming support of AIB via the Azure Portal - without using JSON or PowerShell are just a couple of things we cover during this episode. We think this is one episode not to miss for you!
