Best way to update host pool VMs with new image
I have seen a lot documents about creating a new Host Pool using updated image. But not many explain how we can update VMs with the existing Host Pool. https://www.robinhobo.com/how-to-update-a-custo...
Have you seen Robin Hobo's more recent blog on this? (https://www.robinhobo.com/windows-virtual-desktop-wvd-image-management-how-to-manage-and-deploy-custom-images-including-versioning-with-the-azure-shared-image-gallery-sig/) That one from June 2020 is also outdated in some regards since the UI has changed, but I think the general approach is still valid -- update the image, put the existing VMs in drain mode, add the new VM(s) to the host pool, and then remove the old VMs. (I'm still learning here, so don't take my advice as gospel!)
