I then ran sysprep /generalize as per the Microsoft instructions for Image Capture in Azure. (See here). Next – I configured a single server with the RDS Session Host role and all of the applications I require, as this will become our VM image. Note: if you need an RDS environment – this Azure template is awesome: – I would advise using multiple infrastructure VMs for each role if this is a production service though.
To start this post – I have the following environment configured, minus the scale set: In this post I am going to explore the validity and feasibility of VM Scale Sets for a Remote Desktop Services Environment. Scale Sets also provide a number of features around image management and VM sizing that could be useful for VDI environments. This effectively allows us to ensure the most economical use of resources – as we never pay for more than we need to use, because the machines are de-allocated when not required. This allows us to automatically scale up and down the number of Virtual Machines based on various factors and choices. With Azure we have another potential option designed for large workloads – to use Virtual Machine Scale Sets. The usual approach to this is to use power management – so unused virtual machines are shut down when not in use. When using any environment that provides virtual desktops at scale, it makes sense to have only the required number of resources running at the right time – rather than all of the resources all of the time.
