Citrix Integration with Azure Local for Linux workload

Azure Local is a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution that connects the on-premises system to Azure for cloud-based services, monitoring, and management.

With this feature, MCS supports Azure Local as a new platform, and thus supports:

  • Provisioning of Azure Arc-enabled Linux VMs on Azure Local.
  • Power management of Linux VMs created on Azure Local.

For more information, see Citrix Integration with Azure Local for Linux workload.

This preview allows admin to monitor and troubleshoot all Secure Private Access sessions in Monitor.

Available actions include viewing the details of the following:

  • Secure Private Access active sessions for a user under the Select a Session popup > Active Sessions tab
  • Secure Private Access failed or blocked enumerations and failed app launches under the Select a Session popup > Denied Access tab
  • Session and application details view for active and failed app launches, as well as for failed and blocked enumerations

For more information, see Secure Private Access integration with Monitor (Preview) page.

Enrollment of Hybrid Entra ID joined non-persistent VMs into Microsoft Intune

With this preview, you can now enroll Hybrid Entra ID joined non-persistent VMs into Microsoft Intune (with Configuration Manager) for co-management. This feature applies to single and multi-session non-persistent VMs and on all hypervisors and cloud services, ensuring uniform device management across your infrastructure. To avail the feature, the VDA version must be 2407 or later. For more information, see Enrollment of Hybrid Entra ID joined non-persistent VMs into Microsoft Intune.
