I support Azure Virtual Desktop for a Fortune 500 company, and my primary focus is the networking aspect of the deployment. While Azure documentation was good, the book provides a slightly different perspective and connects the dots in the areas where documentation is either too chatty or insufficiently detailed.This book caught my attention due to my interest in network architecture and the AVD specifics/corner cases. ( Like private endpoints or using NVA for force tunneling ). Network components are essential to all elements of deployment - on-premise connectivity, load balancing, AVD control plane, reverse connect specifics, scalable design (hub-and-spoke), redundancy, FSLogix/storage connectivity, private endpoints, and DNS resolution, to name a few.I was able to find answers to most of my questions here. Most of the examples provide PowerShell snippets and screenshots for deploying the environment via the portal.I recommend using this book for deployments on day one and for brownfield support.

Should be used as a study aide if attempting the certification exam, but works well for practical knowledge. Ryan provides great details on many features of AVD, and links to extraneous materials. A valuable resource.

I was part of the product team at Microsoft that built Azure Virtual Desktop. I am impressed with the level of product details and care for the reader that Ryan has put into the book. In addition to these, the things that stood out for me are the chapters on automation, monitoring and troubleshooting - super important. The Q&A and Further reading sections at the end of each chapter are a nice add on.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
