What does the properties value in a Bicep template for an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool define?

The properties value in a Bicep template for an Azure Virtual Desktop host pool defines the configuration settings for the host pool. This includes various parameters that determine how the host pool operates, such as the type of desktop experiences it provides (e.g., pooled or personal), the number of virtual machines that the host pool should contain, and any additional settings like load balancing algorithms and start/stop settings.

The configuration of these settings is crucial for customizing the behavior of the host pool to meet specific user needs and organizational requirements. In a Bicep template, defining these properties allows for detailed control over the Azure Virtual Desktop environment and ensures that it is set up correctly during deployment.
