Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Accelerator

Overview

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Accelerator is an Azure Marketplace offering that allows you to use your existing subscription to deploy a customized AVD environment. An easy-to-follow setup wizard will guide you through the process to deploy AVD according to your needs.

AVD Accelerator can be found in Azure Cloud and Azure US Government environments.

Features

  • Azure Active Directory (AAD) Virtual Machine (VM) Join
  • On-Prem VM Join
  • Apply DoD Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) to deployed VMs using PowerStig
  • Simplified VM sizing based on Microsoft documentation
  • AAD Account creation

Getting Started

Prerequisites vary based on whether the VMs are going to be On-Prem or AAD joined.

Prerequisites

On-Prem VM Domain Join

  • Accounts that will log into the VMs must be synced to Azure Active Directory (AAD).
  • Connectivity to an On-Prem Domain Controller (could be a Domain Controller as IAAS).
    • A Virtual Network can be created during deployment or an existing one be specified if it has connectivity to the On-Prem domain.

Azure Active Directory VM Domain Join

For a full AAD deployment, there are no prerequisites at this time.

Recommend to use simulation tools to test your deployment with both stress tests and real-life usage simulations. Make sure your system is responsive and resilient enough to meet your needs.
