Differences vs Huawei
- Host pool design and identity model differ.
Migration to Huawei
- Map listing/workspace lifecycle, access controls, and commercial dependencies. For Azure Azure Virtual Desktop, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is Workspace; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
- Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: Workspace + IAM + CBH. Treat Workspace as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
- Pricing model difference: Azure usually bills desktop/session host runtime plus user licensing prerequisites; Huawei usually bills offer-specific licensing/usage or seat-based charges. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
