How to run Azure Virtual Desktop on-premises

we need more fish

I am interested in providing VDIs for my small business, about 9 VDIs. Ideally I would have Azure Stack HCI installed in one of our servers, and then have the VDIs, but I am confused with the Microsoft monthly fees for servers, and processors prices for vdi. I truly wish there is a video to install this on a small business with prices. Otherwise I'll just use proxmox and create VMs in there. Making it all pretty much almost free.

So i used to manage VDI deployments on-prem through Citrix and then threw that out the window when RD Gateway came along and saved a lot of money on licensing but its starting to show its age.

I look at Azure VDI and think "hmmm interesting..." but i have on-prem beefy servers so dont want to waste money in the cloud when i have the power onsite.

Along comes HCI VDI which sounds great, i got a HCI 2 beefy nodes setup on site, link it with Azure, new fancy management, MFA, easy web management etc... but whats the catch... Is this a free service when using on-prem hardware to host it all or is there still some "cloud" catch where i have to pay something?

The video shows A16-4Q profile and it's said that the physical GPU is sliced into 4 partitions. Is it a limitation of the vGPU implementation on ASHCI or just this particular test setup, since A16 can support 16 4Q profiles.

Fantastic content Matt! Good to see the MC nodes in action.

Can you add standalone host or it must be cluster?

This calls the end of VMware. Broadcom killed them. Now Microsoft azure will totally destroy VMware.

connectivity between onprem & Azure cloud should be express route only or S2S pvn too works in this Azure HCI scenario.
