Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) | Scaling plans and Autoscaling
Just notice that I have a new tab under my AVD Portal for Scaling Plan. Before I just explore it, I checked Microsoft DOCs to understand the new feature and see how I can enable it, but ...
Please verify documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/autoscale-scaling-plan., which came with slight delay. When searching the table of contents for autoscale you will find additional articles how to use diagnostics and FAQ
Ensure your review limitations and ensure you have the custom RBAC role set-up :)!
We are working on the personal host pools but don't have an ETA yet.
Thanks Eva. Looks Personal host pools are not being prioritized, they are equally important. Can you please provide workaround while solution is being developed. currently, i am doing AVD VM auto shutdown option at VM level however this doesn't take in consideration active/disconnected user session so what happens is sometime VM will be shutdown while user is still working then user can't VM again using "Start on Connect" option as session was still connected when VM was shutdown. Please suggest some scripted or other solution which can help me.
- We understand the feature is important but we can't give an ETA at this time. You can follow guidance of adam222. 🙂
evasse Is there anyway you can see logging when the schedule runs? I'd like to see the behaviour of the schedule
- We have limited logging. See guidance here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/autoscale-diagnostics
- You could configure a GPO scheduled task to shut down the VM after being idle for a certain amount of time. You will then need to have an Azure Runbook running regularly to check for machines that are powered off so you can de-allocate them to save consumption costs.
