We are using Workspot and have about a quarter of people using it. It's been 5 years and we would like to increase the numbers but cost is still an issue.

We are using azure virtual desktop in our organisation. So far experience is very good. Administration is super friendly. It’s been 1.5 years we have moved majority of our staff to azure virtual desktop.

How is the experience for users? Are they happy in terms of performance vs. desktops? Haven't ran Citrix in a few years and I'm curious how to performs nowadays.

Same here, do  you know what is the minimum number of WVDs they support?

Azure WVD is a pretty good solution with strong security options from reverse connect and Azure Firewall, to Azure AD with Conditional Access, to Defender suite of products. Also, Cloud PC service is probably coming soon.

Our organization is implementing an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) to enable self-service infrastructure provisioning, and we're evaluating Terraform Cloud workspace management strategies.  We're debating between: - VCS-driven approach: Repository-based workspace management with GitOps workflows - API-driven approach: Programmatic workspace creation and management via Terraform Cloud APIs Specific Questions: - Which approach have you found more effective for true self-service at scale? - How do these approaches handle multi-tenancy and isolation requirements? - What integration challenges did you encounter with developer portals/service catalogs? - How did your choice impact developer adoption and platform team operational overhead? Would love to hear about your real-world experiences, particularly around the trade-offs you discovered post-implementation.
