Who is this training for?
Students for AZ-140: Configure and Operate Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop are interested in delivering applications on Azure Virtual Desktop and optimizing them to run in multi-session virtual environments. As an Azure Virtual Desktop administrator, you will closely with the Azure Administrators and Architects, along with Microsoft 365 Administrators. Azure Virtual Desktop administrator responsibilities include planning, deploying, packaging, updating, and maintaining the Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure. They also create session host images, implement and manage FSLogix, monitor Azure Virtual Desktop performance, and automate Azure Virtual Desktop management tasks.
Training objectives
- Assess the technical prerequisites and core components required for an Azure Virtual Desktop solution.
- Design an Azure Virtual Desktop architecture that aligns with organizational and user requirements.
- Deploy and configure the key components of an Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure.
- Create and manage host pools and session hosts to deliver virtual desktops and applications.
- Configure authentication and authorization mechanisms for Azure Virtual Desktop users.
- Apply security controls and best practices to protect virtual desktop environments.
- Configure and administer user profiles using FSLogix.
- Deploy and manage applications and user environments within Azure Virtual Desktop.
- Use monitoring tools to evaluate the performance and health of an Azure Virtual Desktop environment.
- Perform maintenance and optimization tasks to ensure service availability and performance
Summary
This course teaches Azure administrators how to plan, deliver, and manage virtual desktop experiences and remote apps, for any device, on Azure. Lessons include implementing and managing networking for Azure Virtual Desktop, configuring host pools and session hosts, creating session host images, implementing, and managing FSLogix, monitoring Azure Virtual Desktop performance and health, and automating Azure Virtual Desktop management tasks. Students will learn through a mix of demonstrations and hands-on lab experiences deploying virtual desktop experiences and apps on Azure Virtual Desktop and optimizing them to run in multi-session virtual environments. Candidates of this course must have solid Azure administration skills. This course assumes prior experience, including virtualization, networking, identity, storage, backup and restore, and disaster recovery. Students should have knowledge of on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure technologies as they relate to migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop. Students are expected to have used the tools common to the Azure environment, such as the Azure PowerShell and Cloud Shell.
