An important aspect of any Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment is ensuring you automate management of the environment where you can. To get the most out of this cloud-hosted service, it is important to ensure you are utilizing automation to limit the amount of time spent doing manual tasks. This will give a much better experience for your users and administrators. From an automation perspective, you can utilize Azure native services to facilitate automating daily management tasks which will minimize manual intervention by admins.
This course will help you plan and automate management tasks for your Azure Virtual Desktop and help you understand how it integrates with other Azure native automation services.
