Correct answer: Create a separate host pool dedicated to pilot users, Enable the Validation environment setting on the pilot host pool.
Why this is the answer
To safely test new Azure Virtual Desktop service updates with a pilot group without impacting production, you need to isolate them. Creating a separate host pool dedicated to pilot users achieves this isolation, as it allows you to manage their environment independently from your production host pool. Enabling the Validation environment setting on this new pilot host pool ensures that it receives service updates earlier than regular production environments, allowing your pilot users to test these updates before they roll out to your main production deployment. Enabling the Validation environment setting on the existing production host pool would expose your production users to early updates, which is precisely what you want to avoid. Registering existing production application groups to a different workspace or disabling scaling plans on the production host pool does not address the core requirement of isolating pilot users for early service update testing.
