Summary
In this chapter we have been introduced to the VMware Horizon Access Point, a feature of Horizon that uses a hardened, Linux-based appliance to provide Horizon customers with the ability to provide secure, remote access to Horizon desktops or applications.
We have learnt what is required and how to deploy and configure a Horizon Access Point, what the limits of an Access Point are, and where the Access Point fits in within the Horizon infrastructure.
We have also discussed what resources are available to assist in troubleshooting a Horizon Access point, and how to obtain that information. We concluded the chapter by discussing the techniques used to update the configuration of a Horizon Access Point, which at the moment is limited to using the platforms REST API.
In the next chapter, we will discuss how to deploy and configure a Horizon Cloud Pod, a feature of Horizon which enables us to create global Horizon entitlements that span multiple Horizon pods.
