Video of Ignite session showing RDS on Azure IaaS deployment using ARM/JSON now online!

During Microsoft Ignite last week, fellow RDS MVP Benny Tritsch presented a session called “Get an independent insider’s view of desktop virtualization and session remoting.” In this session he presented an independent view on Remote Desktop Services and related technologies. It contains a lot of awesome content coming from various community members! I contributed a part on provisioning an entire RDS High Available deployment on Azure IaaS in ~40 minutes using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) en JSON templates.

The entire session is now available on demand and I can encourage anyone to check out this session: https://myignite.microsoft.com/videos/2793

I also uploaded the two short demo videos of my ARM/JSON section so you can view them separately here:

PART1
This part demo’s the status of the Azure Portal Prior to kicking of the ARM/JSON deployment, it then kicks of the deployments and shows parts of the result inside Visual Studio.


PART2
This part demo’s the end result of the ARM/JSON deployment. It shows the end result inside Visual Studio as well the end results in both RD Web Access and Server Manager

For more information on these JSON templates also see these two previous posts:
- Full HA RDS 2016 deployment in Azure IaaS in < 30 minutes, Azure Resource Manager FTW!
- RDS on Azure IaaS using ARM & JSON part 2 – demo at Microsoft Ignite!

I’m planning to extend the JSON template to allow even further customization of the RDS environment and will share my progress here.
