Option to Select Host Pool Type During Deployment #834
Description
Describe the feature end to end, including deployment scenario details under which the feature would occur.
Enhance the AVD Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) deployment wizard to allow operators to choose the type of host pool to provision.
Currently, the accelerator creates a session host pool without session host configuration, which only supports manual addition of session hosts using a registration key.
Proposed improvement:
Add a dropdown in the “Create Session Hosts” wizard to select the host pool type:
- With Session Host Configuration (enables automated session host provisioning) [Preview]
- Without Session Host Configuration (current default behavior)
This ensures flexibility for different deployment scenarios and avoids creating additional host pools post-deployment.
Why is this feature important. Describe why this would be important for your organization and others. Would this impact similar orgs in the same way?
- Reduces manual steps and complexity for admins who need session host configuration enabled from the start.
- Improves deployment efficiency and aligns with enterprise automation goals. Streamlines AVD deployments for enterprises and partners.
- Avoids creating redundant host pools, saving time and resources.

Can you describe any alternatives that you have taken since this feature does not exist?
Teams currently create a separate host pool manually after deployment to enable session host configuration. Or they use the default host pool without session host configuration and manually register hosts.
