Intro In the first two blog posts (here) and (here), I wrote the most basic Bicep code for deploying a host pool, application groups, and a workspace. In this post, I want to go through some of the resources I usually designate as shared resources, meaning the workspace and the storage account. I already had the workspace in the last two articles, but this time, I am moving those resources into a shared resource group since multiple host pools often use the workspace.

Intro In the first blog post (here), I wrote the most basic Bicep code for deploying a host pool, application groups, and a workspace. The result will be the same resources in this part, but the code will be a bit more advanced, allowing us to customize the deployment. I will keep the code simple, and the goal is to make the part we change for each deployment as simple as possible, while the Bicep modules contain the more advanced code.

Intro Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a managed service that runs virtual desktops and applications in Azure. Some components are deployed and configured to fit your company’s needs, even with a managed solution. In this blog post, I will walk you through the necessary steps before any end-user can log in to the virtualized desktop. I will use Bicep code and PowerShell in this blog post, but there are more options if you prefer other languages.
