Benefits with Ory + Microsoft Azure Image Builder Deploy Plugins Integration

Ory supports Azure VM Image Builder as a delivery mechanism for Ory Agent Security harness plugins on pooled Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts. Teams select pinned harness plugins, build the operator package, deploy it to pooled Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts through Azure VM Image Builder, and activate each user. Azure VM Image Builder handles getting approved plugin versions onto devices; authorization and enforcement are performed by the Ory Agent Security harness plugins themselves.

The fastest way to get started is to sign up for Ory Network, then follow the Azure VM Image Builder deployment guide to bake Ory Agent Security harness plugins into your pooled Azure Virtual Desktop image.
