As I touched on in the title, I was half expecting that this book would only be covering security of AVD and W365. However, the book really goes into all facets of W365/AVD starting with evaluating each platform, use case scenarios and user experience. A benefit of a book such as this is rather than scouring Microsoft Learn, Google, or various repositories that you may need to delve into is that the book pulls together all of this information into one location and walks you through evaluating, deploying, and securing cloud PCs. Regardless of whether you are a project manager, business leader, engineer or security professional that is working on W365 or AVD, this book has something for you.
