Question
You plan to deploy Azure Virtual Desktop to meet the department requirements shown in the following table.
| Department | Required Azure Virtual Desktop resource | Number of users | GPU required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Research | Single-session desktop | 10 | No |
| Engineering | Multi-session desktop | 50 | Yes |
| IT | Multi-session desktop | 50 | No |
| Finance | RemoteApp | 10 | No |
You plan to use Azure Virtual Desktop host pools with load balancing and autoscaling.
You need to recommend a host pool design that meets the requirements. The solution must minimize costs.
What is the minimum number of host pools you should recommend?
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3 Correct
- D. 4
Explanation
All session hosts in a host pool should share the same image and size, so Research (single-session desktops), Engineering (multi-session hosts with a GPU) and IT (multi-session hosts without a GPU) each need different session hosts. Finance does not need its own pool: a pooled host pool can have a desktop application group and RemoteApp application groups at the same time, so Finance's RemoteApp group can be added to the IT multi-session pool. That gives three host pools; four would be needed only if RemoteApp required a separate pool, which it does not.
