A computer lab needs multi-session desktop virtualization pooled so many students can share host capacity rather than each getting a personal Cloud PC. Which option is the better compare choice?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A lab wants shared classroom PCs in the cloud, not twenty reserved personal Cloud PCs. Azure Virtual Desktop fits multi-session pooled hosts; Windows 365 is the personalized Cloud PC lane. Pick the compare answer that matches pooling.
Full Explanation
A computer lab that needs multi-session desktop virtualization pooled so many students share host capacity—rather than each getting a personal Cloud PC—should prefer Azure Virtual Desktop for flexible multi-session / host-pool virtualization versus Windows 365 personalized Cloud PCs. AVD’s flexibility for host pools and multi-session scenarios fits teaching labs where density and cost matter more than one persistent Cloud PC per student.
Windows 365 personal Cloud PCs only fails when the requirement is pooled multi-session density; personal Cloud PCs are not “unlimited students per license by default.” Microsoft Stream live events fail as multi-session OS host pools because live events broadcast video. Exchange Online public folders fail as desktop session brokers.
Exam caveat: compare-level questions hinge on personalized Cloud PC (Windows 365) versus flexible multi-session AVD. Match the lab’s pooling need to AVD.
Operational check: design AVD host pools for the lab cohort, size session hosts for concurrency, define user assignment and FSLogix/profile strategy as appropriate operationally, and explain to finance why per-student Windows 365 may cost more than pooled AVD for this use case.
