Example users are the types of users that might find each workload most helpful. The following table describes each workload. If you end up needing a bigger or smaller virtual machine, you can easily scale your existing deployment up or down in Azure. After you set up your virtual machines, you should continually monitor their actual usage and adjust their size accordingly.

The following table provides examples of a range of workload types to help you estimate what size your virtual machines need to be. Users can run different types of workloads on the session host virtual machines. For the best possible experience, you will need to scale your deployment depending on your users' needs.

The examples in this article are generic guidelines and you should only use them for initial performance estimates. Whether you're running your session host virtual machines (VM) on Remote Desktop Services or Azure Virtual Desktop, different types of workloads require different VM configurations.
