Your Hands-On Security Engineering Project
You will deploy a complete Azure Virtual Desktop Environment that:
✔ Creates AVD host pools and session hosts
✔ Connects hosts to a secure virtual network
✔ Configures FSLogix profile containers in Azure Storage
✔ Assigns users through app groups (Desktop & RemoteApp)
✔ Publishes remote desktops and business applications
✔ Integrates Entra ID authentication
✔ Applies Conditional Access (MFA, compliant device rules)
✔ Sets up monitoring + diagnostics for performance
✔ Tests AVD access from Windows and browser clients
✔ Documents the final architecture
This bootcamp mirrors exactly how MSPs and enterprises implement AVD for real clients.
Why This Matters
Students come out with a strong interview statement like:
“I deployed a full Azure Virtual Desktop environment with host pools, FSLogix profile containers, secure virtual networking, app groups, and Conditional Access. I published RemoteApps, configured user access, and built monitoring dashboards for session performance.”
