Azure Virtual Desktop connectivity to a application hosted on Azure VMs.
I have a customer who is deploying Azure Virtual Desktops. They are also looking to move an application to run on Azure VMs. This application would use AAD authentication so there would be no need ...
Hi David-Haver,
This should be absolutely possible. With AVD you fully control the networking setup and configure what VNet is used for session hosts. AVD session hosts are regular Azure VMs, so depending on some additional requirements you might have with regards to isolating your AVD environment and those business apps you plan to host on Azure VMs, you could either:
- host application VMs in the same VNet as your AVD session hosts, only in a different subnet
- host those VMs in a different VNet that could then be peered with the AVD Vnet
In both scenarios, you can use Network Security Groups to control what traffic from AVD hosts is permitted to your application VMs. There is no need to publish your app to the Internet (attach a public IP address to the VM), network traffic between session hosts and the app servers can stay private.
