Citrix VDA with Azure Cloud provides a cost-effective way to deliver Windows applications and desktops from the cloud using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (VDA). Key benefits include pay-as-you-go pricing, simplified management, security and compliance built into Azure, and an optimized user experience. Setting up VDA with Azure involves prepping the Azure infrastructure, installing controller software, configuring networking and security, creating a golden OS image, and then delivering desktops and apps to users through Citrix.
