Usage examples

The following section provides usage examples for the module, which were used to validate and deploy the module successfully. For a full reference, please review the module's test folder in its repository.

Note: Each example lists all the required parameters first, followed by the rest - each in alphabetical order.

Note: To reference the module, please use the following syntax ./packages/avd-host-pool/main.bicep.

Example 1: Using only defaults

This instance deploys the module with the minimum set of required parameters.

via Bicep module
module hostPool './packages/avd-host-pool/main.bicep' = {
  name: 'hostPoolDeployment'
  params: {
    name: 'dvhpmin002'
  }
}

via JSON parameters file
{
  "$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-04-01/deploymentParameters.json#",
  "contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",
  "parameters": {
    "name": {
      "value": "dvhpmin002"
    }
  }
}

via Bicep parameters file
using './packages/avd-host-pool/main.bicep'

param name = 'dvhpmin002'

Example 2: Using large parameter set

This instance deploys the module with most of its features enabled.

via Bicep module

Parameters

Required parameters

Parameter Type Description
name string Name of the scaling plan.

Optional parameters

Parameter Type Description
agentUpdate object The session host configuration for updating agent, monitoring agent, and stack component.
customRdpProperty string Host Pool RDP properties.
description string Description of the scaling plan.
diagnosticSettings array The diagnostic settings of the service.
directUDP string Where direct UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host when using a private connection, such as a virtual private network (VPN).
- Default: AVD-wide settings are used to determine connection availability
- Enabled: UDP will attempt this connection type when making connections. This means that this connection is possible, but is not guaranteed, as there are other factors that may prevent this connection type
- Disabled: UDP will not attempt this connection type when making connections.
enableTelemetry bool Enable/Disable usage telemetry for module.
friendlyName string Friendly name of the scaling plan.
hostPoolType string Set this parameter to Personal if you would like to enable Persistent Desktop experience. Defaults to Pooled.
loadBalancerType string Type of load balancer algorithm.
location string Location of the scaling plan. Defaults to resource group location.
lock object The lock settings of the service.
managedPrivateUDP string Where direct UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host when using a private connection, such as a virtual private network (VPN).
- Default: AVD-wide settings are used to determine connection availability
- Enabled: UDP will attempt this connection type when making connections. This means that this connection is possible, but is not guaranteed, as there are other factors that may prevent this connection type
- Disabled: UDP will not attempt this connection type when making connections.
managementType string The type of management for this hostpool. Note: If set to Automated, no registrationToken is returned by the resource.
maxSessionLimit int Maximum number of sessions.
personalDesktopAssignmentType string Set the type of assignment for a Personal Host Pool type.
preferredAppGroupType string The type of preferred application group type, default to Desktop Application Group.
privateEndpoints array Configuration details for private endpoints. For security reasons, it is recommended to use private endpoints whenever possible.
publicNetworkAccess string Set public network access.
publicUDP string Where direct UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host via public network using Simple Traversal Underneath NAT (STUN) protocol.
- Default: AVD-wide settings are used to determine connection availability
- Enabled: UDP will attempt this connection type when making connections. This means that this connection is possible, but is not guaranteed, as there are other factors that may prevent this connection type
- Disabled: UDP will not attempt this connection type when making connections.
relayUDP string Where indirect UDP connectivity is established between the client and the session host via public network using Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN) protocol.
- Default: AVD-wide settings are used to determine connection availability
- Enabled: UDP will attempt this connection type when making connections. This means that this connection is possible, but is not guaranteed, as there are other factors that may prevent this connection type
- Disabled: UDP will not attempt this connection type when making connections.
ring int The ring number of HostPool.
roleAssignments array Array of role assignments to create.
ssoadfsAuthority string URL to customer ADFS server for signing WVD SSO certificates.
ssoClientId string ClientId for the registered Relying Party used to issue WVD SSO certificates.
ssoClientSecretKeyVaultPath string Path to Azure KeyVault storing the secret used for communication to ADFS.
ssoSecretType string The type of single sign on Secret Type.
startVMOnConnect bool Enable Start VM on connect to allow users to start the virtual machine from a deallocated state. Important: Custom RBAC role required to power manage VMs.
tags object Tags of the resource.
tokenValidityLength string Host Pool token validity length. Usage: 'PT8H' - valid for 8 hours; 'P5D' - valid for 5 days; 'P1Y' - valid for 1 year. When not provided, the token will be valid for 8 hours.
validationEnvironment bool Validation host pools allows you to test service changes before they are deployed to production. When set to true, the Host Pool will be deployed in a validation 'ring' (environment) that receives all the new features (might be less stable). Defaults to false that stands for the stable, production-ready environment.
vmTemplate object The necessary information for adding more VMs to this Host Pool.
