Windows virtual desktops on-prem? Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI & more hybrid updates

Take a look at the just announced capability to run Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI on premises, as well as a roundup of what’s new in hybrid management across platforms with Azure Arc. Azure Virtual Desktop, formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop, used to be an all or nothing decision in order to run your VMs from the Azure cloud. Now you can use Azure, Azure Stack HCI, and use Windows 10 multi-session or Windows 11 multi-session in a hybrid environment where you get the full Windows experience along with cost efficiency. Matt McSpirit, Senior Program Manager for Microsoft Azure, joins Jeremy Chapman to share the latest Azure hybrid updates:

A unified management plane in the Azure cloud for your Azure Virtual Desktops (formerly Windows Virtual Desktop), whether they’re running in the cloud or locally on Azure Stack HCI
Manage Azure Stack HCI physical hosts and clusters at scale with Azure Arc
Deploy a VM from the Azure portal to your on-prem VMware environment
Up-to-date inventory of your VMware resource pools, clusters, hosts, and virtual networks all in your VMware environment in the Azure portal
