What type of network connectivity solution should be recommended for implementing RDP Shortpath in Azure Virtual Desktop?

The recommended connectivity solution for implementing RDP Shortpath in Azure Virtual Desktop is a Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connection. RDP Shortpath is designed to enhance the user experience by establishing a direct connection between the user device and the Azure Virtual Desktop host. This direct connection leverages the secure tunneling capabilities of a VPN to ensure that traffic travels efficiently and securely over the internet.

Using a Site-to-Site VPN connection allows organizations to extend their on-premises network to Azure, enabling seamless and secure connectivity. This is crucial for RDP Shortpath, as it ensures that data is routed correctly and securely, optimizing latency and enhancing performance for remote desktop services.

Other options, while they serve important functions, do not provide the same level of connectivity necessary for RDP Shortpath. For instance, Azure Bastion is primarily used for secure and seamless RDP and SSH access to virtual machines without needing to expose them to the internet, but it does not facilitate the same direct traffic path that RDP Shortpath requires. Similarly, Azure Front Door is designed for global application delivery and routing but does not cater specifically to the type of VPN connectivity needed for RDP Shortpath. Virtual network peering offers a way to connect different Azure virtual
