Express Onboarding Horizon Cloud for the Microsoft Azure Provider Type

The Express onboarding process provides several pre-configured resources and default settings as it guides you through the process of setting up your new account to enable end users to launch desktop and app sessions quickly. The process requires you to enter a minimum number of inputs, use default values and configurations, and be able to quickly launch desktop and application sessions.

Express Onboarding is available for Azure greenfield deployments only.

After you have successfully completed the Express onboarding process, you can experiment with Horizon Cloud options, explore documentation and demos to learn about ways to use the product, and customize the service for your organization.
