You are designing an Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment for 500 remote employees.

You plan to use Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session. Users need their application settings, browser history, and files to persist across sessions, regardless of which session host VM they connect to. You want a fully managed PaaS storage solution to store these user profiles.

Which technology combination should you recommend?

For Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments, FSLogix profile containers are the recommended solution for managing user profiles. FSLogix encapsulates the user profile into a VHDX file, which is dynamically mounted to the session host VM when the user logs in. This ensures fast login times and persistence across multi-session environments. To store these VHDX files using a fully managed PaaS solution, Azure Files (accessed via SMB) is the standard and most cost-effective architectural choice.
