VDA Deployment Recommendation

Citrix VDA for macOS is very flexible regarding deployment scenarios: both Cloud and on-prem environments are supported. We have partnered with leaders in Mac/macOS workload IaaS providers such as MacStadium and AWS EC2 services since Tech Preview of this product, refer below link for more details how to deploy macOS VDA in those environments.

Deployment

For DaaS customers whose end users need remote access from outside corporate networks to Citrix VDA for macOS deployed on-prem, but haven’t installed any on‑premise NetScaler Gateway before, you can enable Citrix Gateway service for external remote access. See, Citrix Gateway service for more information.

When using the Citrix Gateway Service, the Rendezvous protocol policy must be enabled through the Citrix Cloud control plane. The policy is disabled by default. For more information, see Rendezvous V2.
