Hydra: Automize, scale and manage Windows Virtual Desktop / Azure Virtual Desktop like a pro - including multi-tenancy
Project Hydra for Azure Virtual Desktop Six months ago, I started a new project to provide a solution to manage Azure Virtual Desktop / Windows Virtual Desktop in an automated way. It was thought of as a complement to #WVDAdmin and focused on doing some tasks automatically. For example: - Autoscale -- Multi-Session hosts -- Power-on-connect support -- Schedules -- Autopilot: Automatically scales up/down/create/remove based on the usage of a host pool -- Deploy hosts on-demand - including ephemeral VMs based on a custom image - VDI -- Auto deallocate session hosts - Granular session timeouts - Auto Health - and a lot more
Even the autoscaling part works very well. It goes hand-in-hand with Power-On-Connect and can pre-provide temporary session hosts with ephemeral disks. And for sure: It down-scales the environment.
