Your Storage is your data, so in Azure Virtual Desktop we need to address your storage needs. This comes in a few flavors: FSLogix User Profiles and Office Profiles as well as the Storage solution that they will be mounted from and the disks for your Operating Systems and data drives.
In this course, we will help you design your Azure Virtual Desktop storage components so you can get the most out of them in your AVD solution but also control cost to make AVD a more cost-effective solution with a dedicated focus on preparing you for the Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty exam.

To get the most out of this course, you should already have some knowledge of:
- Azure Storage accounts
- Storage capacity planning
- Storage performance
- Windows PowerShell
In this course, we've covered Azure Virtual Desktop session host disk options as well as the requirements for FSLogix capacity and performance. And we've set up your FSLogix file shares with Active Directory authentication and the proper permissions. We've also protected that file share from local deletes with our soft delete function, and then further protected it with Azure Backup taking daily snapshots.
