Deploy a host pool of 20 Windows 11 session hosts that each require a Windows client license and minimal administrative effort. Which method should you use to deploy the session hosts?

The Azure portal offers a guided, wizard-driven experience for deploying Azure Virtual Desktop host pools, including the creation of session hosts. This method is straightforward and requires minimal administrative effort, as it automates many of the underlying configurations for the virtual machines, networking, and AVD agent installation. It also natively supports the use of Windows 11 images, which include the necessary client licenses. Microsoft Intune is primarily for device management and application deployment, not for the initial provisioning of virtual machines and host pools in Azure Virtual Desktop. Windows Autopilot is used for automating the setup of new physical Windows devices and is not designed for deploying cloud-based virtual machines in Azure. An Azure Automation runbook could be used for advanced, scripted deployments, but it requires significant upfront development and scripting effort, which contradicts the requirement for "minimal administrative effort" for a standard deployment.
