The start VM on connect (preview) feature lets you save costs by allowing end users to turn on their VMs only when they need them. You can then turn off VMs when they're not needed. We have a couple of updates to share:
IMPORTANT: If you haven't started preview yet remember to set-up the custom RBAC role first. Review limitations, pre-requisites and setup guidance in our documentation.

@Eva Seydl That makes total sense now.
Question:
So if I have a 2 pooled VMs in a host pool. I set it to depth first with max session 5 users.
If the two VMs in the pool are off, when the first user conencts, it would turn one machine on, but as long as they are under 5 users connecting, it would still use that single machine. If the 6th user connects, then it would turn the second machine on?
Sorry just trying to evaluate the best scenario. Normally we use breadth-first but depth first may be a viable option with this new feature.

How do we limit access to start VM connect to one user only?@Eva Seydl
