Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud platform service, a set of Microsoft technologies running in Microsoft Azure for virtualizing desktops and apps. AVD is not a virtual desktop that you can buy from Microsoft. Rather, it is a set of technologies used to build virtual desktops for customers and end-users. Along with simplified virtual desktop management, AVD offers multi-session Windows 10, optimizations for Office 365 and support for RDS environments if required.
Remote Desktop Services (RDS)
Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is a virtualization service where the Windows software along with the entire desktop of the computer running RDS are accessible to any remote client machine supporting Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Thereby providing secure, mobile and remote desktop access to users and also to run applications and desktops.
