One more thing that should be mentioned with AIB: if you're in the testing process--make sure you locate the "IT_*" resource group once the build starts and then enable a delete lock on that resource group. This will prevent the AIB service from deleting the build resources so you can bastion in and check things out for debugging. If you don't do this, all you're left with in the end is a storage account with a log file from packer. That's not always enough. Also--you tested your customizer scripts/apps outside the context of AIB first, right? Riiiight!??
Good point! 👍👍
I've been neck deep in AIB and DevOps pipelines for about 14 months now and boy does the rabbit hole get deep when you start requiring secure build artifacts, secure networking options, integration with ITSM.
If the new portal options get more people into AIB--that's big. It really is the best way to make images now if you're in an environment where you don't have the option to run with a stock image and apply settings & apps at deployment time (oh the dream!).
True, True!
Thank you! So much now to think about for efficiently building/updating my images and domain joins and application installs...
Yeah this is just the beginning, isn't it!
Thanks Dean.
Time to try this on a weekend 😊
Awesome, let me know how it goes
Thanks Dean, great video, good to see AIB getting some love.
and its about to get some more love...Stay Tuned!
Great video! How to you update your template? When I try to build twice (and put it in the Gallery) it says version number already exists. But I figure I would want to update the template when App X has a new version and I want to update my custom changed to update with the new app. Or even to just have the latest updates. I'm not sure if this is a stupid question as I'm very new to AVD and AIB. Trying to leave VMware.
There is no native way to update a template in AIB…however in Azure Virtual Desktop there is a feature called custom image templates where you can start from an existing template
Make the updates you want, which will generate a new template for you and build a new image version
Thanks again for this great video Dean!
Do you know if and how we can configure AIB to use a Premium SSD disk for the build process? It can speed up a build a lot (66% lower time installing a language pack for example)
Not at this point but it is good feedback that I will share with the product group. My guess is that because AIB is 100% automated their feeling might have been to make it as close to zero cost as possible and the cost of a 128GB premium ssd vs standard hdd is basically doubled. But I do think giving you the option is a great idea.
@@AzureAcademyyes indeed, two other reasons would be when you speed up the image build process is that it will also free up your ci/cd pipeline worker faster and when you are running the build on demand the image will be available much sooner.
Sounds good, thanks!
Amazing, TY Dean!
Thanks Len!
Hi Dean, great video.
I have a new avd deployment and would appreciate recommendations for image/apps deployments.
150 users, 20-30 apps, some new some old. 10 Azure AD joined win 11 multi-session hosts.
I want a simple way to install updates for windows and apps.
Should I do it in the image with AIB and re-create my session hosts each time. Or do you recommend updating the session hosts directly with Intune. Intune seems slow sometimes and most of my session hosts will only be online during working hour to save $$$.
Is it Ok to install upgrades when users are working in the session hosts? It has always been a big no no with RDS and using install mode and I can’t find a good way to schedule app deployments with Intune.
Thanks
Wow, that’s a lot of questions…most of your answers come down to how you want to manage things. You can do it all with traditional tools and methods or cloud ones like Intune. Changes should only be done during maintenance windows or emergencies so you don’t disrupted users
@@AzureAcademy Yes I know it seems to be a lot of different options. But if we narrow it down to two questions, how would you do?
1. Windows Updates --> update the golden image or update the session hosts?
2. Use AIB or use a traditionall Golden Image manually?
Thanks
I say...why not both! 😉 and it will be made clear with my next video...Stay Tuned!
So, usually when I create a custom image, my last step is to sysprep, shutdown, and capture image to the gallery. Using AIB, if I provision a VM from that AIB image, when does generalization happen? Or does AIB produce a generalized image as part of it's process?
It does it at the end before the capture
well documented video with real world experience. Just hit 1 mistake of create too many replicas in other regions during building process. 👍
Cool, thanks
Excellent!
Thanks
The optimize script you reference doesn"t work for W11. Is there an updated version?
What time in the video do I say that?
