Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid GA

Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid is now generally available.

Microsoft’s new offering lets you run AVD session hosts on your own on-premises hardware (or that of an Authorized Outsourcer) while benefiting from the cloud management features that Azure offers, making it suitable for organizations with regulatory or compliance requirements. The licensing rules are similar to traditional AVD, with the requirement of a qualifying licence, but differ in that you also need an Azure Virtual Desktop Hybrid licence.
