"Microsoft recently announced a limited preview of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for hybrid environments, a new capability that brings cloud-native desktop virtualization to existing on-premises infrastructure. With this update, on-premises Arc-Enabled Servers can be configured as AVD session hosts, expanding Azure Virtual Desktop's hybrid capabilities beyond Azure Local to Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, VMware vSphere, and physical Windows Servers, or anywhere Arc-Enabled Servers can be deployed on-premises."
"Azure Virtual Desktop for hybrid environments enables customers to run virtual desktops and applications in their own data centers by integrating Azure Arc with Azure Virtual Desktop. The virtual machines (VMs) function as session hosts that connect directly to the Azure Virtual Desktop service in the Microsoft Cloud. The new deployment option is supported by key partners such as Nutanix, which is focused on extending the flexibility of AVD to customers running their workloads on the Nutanix AHV hyperconverged infrastructure platform."
Azure Virtual Desktop entered limited preview for hybrid environments, enabling cloud-native desktop virtualization to run on existing on-premises infrastructure. On-premises Arc-Enabled Servers can be configured as AVD session hosts across Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, VMware vSphere, and physical Windows Servers wherever Arc can be deployed. The mechanism connects local infrastructure directly to the Azure control plane through Azure Arc, allowing central management of decentralized resources. The deployment is supported by partners such as Nutanix to extend AVD flexibility on AHV while preserving operational benefits of HCI environments and leveraging AVD's unified cloud control plane. The capability broadens AVD scenarios beyond Azure Local.
