Azure Virtual Desktop: Host Pools (Personal vs. Pooled)

Azure Virtual Desktop gives you full flexibility over how users access and run their workloads. Personal host pools provide each user with a dedicated desktop — ideal for developers, designers or anyone needing consistent, high-performance power. Pooled host pools, on the other hand, allow multiple users to share resources across virtual machines, perfect for customer service teams or general office roles.

 

The beauty of AVD is in the choice. You can scale to match the needs of your team with virtual machines built for everyday tasks or GPU-enabled, high-performance workloads. Pricing is hourly, so you only pay for what you use, and those higher-powered options can actually save time — and money — by getting the job done faster.
