Azure Virtual Desktop

Azure Virtual Desktop is a desktop and application virtualization service that runs on the cloud. It enables you to use a cloud-hosted version of Windows from any location.

It's a remote desktop that can be accessed by any OS and by browser.

Advantages:

• security: data is not stored on a local laptop, which can be stolen;
• permission management: centralize roles and ACL;
• secure network: all the [[azure-virtual-machines]] stored via Azure Virtual Desktop have secure outbond communication;
• integration with [[azure-entra]] using MFA.
