AVD on Azure Local: Increase memory of Sessionhosts after Hostpool deployment

Considering the below and the best practice:

1. Update the VM Size in Azure:
• In the Azure portal, navigate to the Virtual Machines section.
• Locate the session hosts in your host pool.
• Stop the VM, change its size to one with the desired RAM, and restart it. This ensures the new configuration is applied.
2. Modify the Host Pool Template:
• If you're using a template for deploying session hosts, update the template to reflect the new VM size. This prevents future deployments from reverting to the old configuration.
3. Autoscaler Considerations:
• If you're using an autoscaler, ensure that its configuration aligns with the updated VM size. Some autoscalers might have predefined settings that need adjustment.
4. Automation with PowerShell:
• You can use Azure PowerShell to automate the process of resizing VMs:

$ResourceGroup = "YourResourceGroupName"
$VMName = "YourVMName"
$NewSize = "Standard_D4s_v3" # Replace with your desired size

Stop-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -Name $VMName -Force
Update-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -VMName $VMName -Size $NewSize
Start-AzVM -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -Name $VMName

Replace the placeholders with your actual resource group, VM name, and desired size.

Best Practices:

• • Test the changes on a single session host before applying them to the entire pool.
  • Monitor performance after the update to ensure the new configuration meets your needs.
