About this tag
Stateless workloads in Windows environments are a recurring theme in discussions about Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Ephemeral OS Disks. These workloads benefit from fast provisioning, lower OS-disk latency, and quicker reimage cycles, making them ideal for pooled session hosts where persistence is not required. The tradeoffs include reduced suitability for persistent-desktop scenarios. This tag covers the operational advantages and considerations of deploying stateless workloads in Azure, particularly with AVD pooled host pools.
