Course Overview
Lead Azure Virtual Desktop - AVD (previously WVD) Projects from A to Z. Prepare for the Microsoft Specialty Exam AZ-140.
Learn how to design and architect an Azure Virtual Desktop solution in Microsoft Azure Cloud, including: the design, deployment scenarios, implementation and even the licensing and Cost Estimation. This course includes an A to Z Azure Virtual Desktop (previously known as Windows Virtual Desktop) project demonstration in Azure Cloud, so you can see how to implement an actual AVD solution from scratch starting from the identity setup and going through the personal and pooled Host pools, Users profiles, permissions, application groups, custom VM image creation, FSLogix, Security, Monitoring, App management and Virtual Desktops.
At the end of this course you will be able to design and implement Azure Virtual Desktop solutions as well as determining the cost of running this kind of solutions in Microsoft Azure Cloud.
This course covers all the topics needed to prepare you for the Microsoft specialty exam AZ-140: Configuring and Operating Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop. Passing the exam will grant you the 'Microsoft Certified: Azure Virtual Desktop Specialty' certificate.
The AZ-140 exam measures the student ability to accomplish the following technical tasks: plan a Azure Virtual Desktop architecture; implement a Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure; manage access and security; manage user environments and apps; and monitor and maintain a Azure Virtual Desktop infrastructure.

Approach this course just as an "intro" to Azure VDI solution, because it is a bit old, and some demos or examples are out of date. All of the information here is still pretty good and usable, at the very end you will have a pretty good idea about the whole Azure VDI. Just do not use this course as your only one "source of truth" to present the official Microsoft certification exam. Course recommended. Cheers from Mexico City.

Over all I thought the course was good. The last couple of sections seemed unnecessarily rushed especially in the MSIX section, that would have been a good spot to do a recap on how to do the Azure file setup, but instead you decided to just rush through it all. Which seemed off considering you took the time to recap much lesser points throughout the course. As others have pointed out near the end sections there seemed to be an increase amount of background noises like phones ringing, cars taking off quickly, etc. The echo of the room was an initial put off on listening to your course but over the course of the lections I got used to it, but if you ever do an update it might be better to find a quieter room and a room with less hard surfaces to reduce the echo.
