Virtual Desktops
A desktop pool is N private VMs from a desktop image. AWS, Azure and GCP all provision real VMs and broker each seat through the BeyondTrust PRA Gateway. AWS and GCP pools are Linux-only and their seats are reached over a Shell Jump; Windows seats are Azure-only and get a Remote RDP jump with credential injection. Details.

New desktop pool
Gallery / managed images. Paste a full ARM image id below if it's not listed.
Defaults to the configured desktops subnet. Delegated subnets (e.g. aci-subnet) can't host VM NICs and are disabled.
The AMI, subnet and security groups below all belong to this region.
Windows AMIs are omitted — AWS pools are Linux-only. Paste an AMI id below if it isn't listed.
Defaults to the configured desktops subnet, then the region's default VM subnet.
Select at least one.
Custom images first, then public. Windows images are omitted — GCP pools are Linux-only.
The region is in the label on purpose — a sandbox names its subnetwork the same in every region, and one from the wrong region fails at launch.
/api/gcp/secrets/ssh-key only returns
the first 80 characters.
Adopt existing desktops
Bring Azure VMs you built elsewhere — an AVD session host, a persistent VDI — into a pool for visibility and Start / Stop. The dashboard writes nothing to them and never deletes them: deleting the pool only stops managing them. Scanning .

Seats —
Every seat is brokered once its VM is up — Windows seats (Azure) as a Remote RDP jump with credential injection, Linux seats as a Shell Jump on 22 with none. A dash means registration is still pending or it failed; open the pool's job for why.
Adopted VMs are not brokered through PRA by the dashboard; reach them the way you do today. Stop deallocates and disconnects anyone signed in. On an AVD session host, a host pool scaling plan or Start VM on Connect can undo a Start or Stop made here.
