What is WVD?

WVD, or Windows Virtual Desktop (now known as Azure Virtual Desktop), is a desktop and application virtualization service that runs on the Azure cloud. It allows users to access their desktop and applications from anywhere, on any device. It is commonly used by organizations to provide secure remote access to resources, simplify IT management, and support bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives.
