Azure Virtual Desktop efficient operation | Scaling, imaging & monitoring

Configure Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure to run efficiently. Drive up utilization with scaling plans. Scale session host VMs in a host pool up or down automatically, without paying for idle resources. Ensure your VM images are up-to-date with required software, configurations, and Windows updates. Gain an end-to-end view of your services' performance by utilizing Azure Virtual Desktop Insights at Scale, which provides comprehensive visibility into how your services are running, and access a consolidated view of all your host pools and subscriptions for easy monitoring.
