Duration : 5 Days (40 Hours)
CXD-252: Moving to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service on Citrix Cloud with Microsoft Azure
The CXD-252: Moving to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service on Citrix Cloud with Microsoft Azure course is designed to help participants navigate the transition from an on-premises environment to Citrix Cloud. Participants will learn about the architecture, communications, and management of Citrix Cloud and the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service.
The course focuses on migrating existing infrastructure and settings into Citrix Cloud, providing participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully make the move. Participants will learn how to plan their machine catalog and virtual machine design based on Microsoft Azure as the public cloud platform. They will also gain hands-on experience deploying these machines using Machine Creation Services (MCS).
Additionally, participants will learn how to configure the access layer as a service within Citrix Cloud. This can be done using managed machines in their own datacenter or on the Azure platform, providing flexibility in the deployment options.
Whether participants are planning a migration to Citrix Cloud or starting fresh, this course is a crucial step in acquiring the necessary training and skills to understand, manage, and deliver successful Citrix deployments. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to plan their machine catalog and virtual machine design, deploy machines using MCS, and configure the access layer within Citrix Cloud.
