Summary

This chapter looked at planning and implementing business continuity and disaster recovery for Azure Virtual Desktop.

We started by looking at designing a backup strategy for Azure Virtual Desktop. We then moved on to look at the five critical components of an Azure Virtual Desktop environment, which are virtual networks, virtual machines, user identities, configuring user and app data, and application dependencies.

We then looked at how to back up and restore virtual machines and Azure files. We then finished the chapter by reiterating the benefit of using shared image galleries to replicate a gold image/image template across multiple Azure regions.

In the next chapter, we will take a look at automating Azure Virtual Desktop management tasks.
