Host Pool Architecture

Defining Host Pool Types
A host pool is a collection of Azure virtual machines that register to Azure Virtual Desktop as session
hosts when you run the Azure Virtual Desktop agent. All session host virtual machines in a host pool
should be sourced from the same image for a consistent user experience. You control the resources
published to users through app groups.

A host pool can be one of two types:

• Personal, where each session host is assigned to an individual user. Personal host pools provide
dedicated desktops to end-users that optimize environments for performance and data separation.
• Pooled, where user sessions can be load balanced to any session host in the host pool. There can be
multiple different users on a single session host at the same time. Pooled host pools provide a shared
remote experience to end-users, which ensures lower costs and greater efficiency.
App Groups used by Host Pools
An app group is a logical grouping of applications installed on session hosts in the host pool.

An app group can be one of two types:


• RemoteApp, where users access the RemoteApps you individually select and publish to
the app group. Available with pooled host pools only.
• Desktop, where users access the full desktop. Available with pooled or personal host
pools.
Pooled host pools have a preferred app group type that dictates whether users see
RemoteApp or Desktop apps in their feed if both resources have been published to the
same user.
Workspaces
• A workspace is a logical grouping of application
groups in Azure Virtual Desktop.
• Each Azure Virtual Desktop application group
must be associated with a workspace for users to
see the remote apps and desktops published to
them.
User Sessions
Active user session:
• A user session is considered "active" when a user signs in and connects to their remote
app or desktop resource.

Disconnected user session:


• A disconnected user session is an inactive session that the user hasn't signed out of yet.
• When a user closes the remote session window without signing out, the session becomes
disconnected.
• When a user reconnects to their remote resources, they'll be redirected to their
disconnected session on the session host they were working on.
• At this point, the disconnected session becomes an active session again.

Pending user session


• A pending user session is a placeholder session that reserves a spot on the load-balanced
virtual machine for the user.
• Because the sign-in process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes depending
on the user profile, this placeholder session ensures that the user won't be kicked out of
their session if another user completes their sign-in process first.
