In Azure Virtual Desktop (formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop), a host pool is a logical grouping of one or more Azure virtual machines (VMs) that are used as session hosts for virtual desktops and/or remote applications. Each host pool contains one or more VMs that are provisioned and managed by Azure Virtual Desktop.
The following are the types of host pools that are available in Azure Virtual Desktop:
Personal host pool: This type of host pool is ideal for users who require dedicated VMs for their desktops or applications. In a personal host pool, each user is assigned a dedicated VM that they can use for their virtual desktop or remote application needs. This type of host pool is best suited for users who need to install and configure their own applications or have specific customization requirements.
Pooled host pool: In a pooled host pool, multiple users share the same VMs. When a user logs in, they are connected to an available VM in the pool. Once the user logs off, the VM is returned to the pool and can be used by another user. Pooled host pools are ideal for environments where users have similar requirements, such as a call center or training environment.
Azure Virtual Desktop for Windows 365 Professional: This type of host pool allows you to create a desktop environment for your Windows 365 Professional subscription users.
Azure Virtual Desktop for Windows 365 Enterprise: This type of host pool allows you to create a desktop environment for your Windows 365 Enterprise subscription users.
Out of the options provided in the question, A, C, and D are valid types of host pools in Azure Virtual Desktop.
Option A, "Personal", is a valid type of host pool that is ideal for users who require dedicated VMs for their desktops or applications.
Option C, "Pooled", is a valid type of host pool that allows multiple users to share the same VMs.
Option D, "Unpooled", is not a valid type of host pool in Azure Virtual Desktop.
Option B, "Professional", and option E, "Sparked", are not valid types of host pools in Azure Virtual Desktop either.
