Deploy Azure Virtual Desktop - PoC

by Frametype Solutions

Azure benefit eligible

Cloud-native AVD proof of concept with FSLogix profiles. No Active Directory required.

Production-Ready Cloud-Native AVD in Your Subscription


Deploy a complete Azure Virtual Desktop proof of concept (PoC) environment directly into your Azure subscription in under an hour. No hybrid Active Directory, no domain controllers, no days of manual configuration. Your environment is production-aligned from Day 1, with no orchestration platform required.
This offer walks you through a guided deployment experience that deploys the full AVD control plane, Windows 11 session hosts, FSLogix profile containers, Zero Trust networking, least-privilege role assignments, and Azure Monitor diagnostics. Every resource is named and tagged to Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) conventions out of the box.

Who This Offer Is ForIT decision makers and architects evaluating a cloud-only AVD deployment model who want a fully functional, framework-aligned environment before committing to production.

  • IT decision makers and architects evaluating a cloud-only AVD deployment model who want a fully functional, framework-aligned environment before committing to production.
  • Microsoft partners delivering AVD engagements who need a repeatable PoC baseline already aligned to the AVD Advanced Specialization audit requirements.
  • Organizations moving away from on-premises Active Directory or legacy VDI solutions who need an AVD deployment that works entirely in the cloud without legacy domain dependencies.

The Problem This Solves

Most AVD deployment guides assume a hybrid identity model: Active Directory Domain Services on-premises or Azure AD Domain Services in the cloud. For organizations that are cloud-only, or actively eliminating AD dependencies, those approaches introduce unnecessary complexity, cost, and attack surface.
Standing up a cloud-native AVD environment correctly, with identity-based storage access, Zero Trust networking, FSLogix profile containers (user profile management software that eliminates profile bloat and login delays), and full monitoring, requires deep expertise across multiple Azure service areas. This offer eliminates that complexity in a single guided deployment.

Key Differentiators

  • Fully cloud-native identity. No hybrid AD required. Entra Kerberos for Azure Files enables identity-based profile storage for Microsoft Entra ID-only tenants, without legacy Kerberos infrastructure.
  • Zero Trust by design. All three Zero Trust principles are implemented by default: Verify Explicitly, Use Least Privilege, and Assume Breach.
  • CAF and WAF aligned. Resource naming, tagging, RBAC (role-based access control) scoping, and monitoring follow Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Well-Architected Framework (WAF) guidance.
  • Built on Azure Verified Modules (AVM). Infrastructure is authored using AVM, Microsoft's curated library of pre-validated Bicep components, ensuring WAF-aligned defaults and CAF-compliant resource configuration out of the box.
  • AVD Advanced Specialization ready. The deployment maps to the Microsoft AVD Advanced Specialization audit requirements.
  • Cost-optimized by default. DepthFirst load balancing, automated scaling plans, and Start VM on Connect minimize idle compute costs around the clock.

From PoC to Production

The environment is a validated starting point, not a throwaway. Partners use it to demonstrate cloud-native AVD to customers during evaluation, establish a baseline for migration planning, and accelerate the path to a production deployment. frameType Solutions engages with customers throughout the PoC and beyond, guiding them from initial deployment to production readiness.
