# Wix publishing brief

## Post metadata

- Title: Azure Virtual Desktop Deep Dive: Entra Join, FSLogix, Scaling Plans, and Monitoring
- Slug: `azure-virtual-desktop-deep-dive-entra-join-fslogix-scaling-plans-monitoring`
- Excerpt: Build a pooled Azure Virtual Desktop environment with Microsoft Entra-joined Windows 11 session hosts, FSLogix profiles on Azure Files, autoscale scaling plans, and Azure Monitor Insights.
- Author: reuse the author from the final AKS workshop post.
- Category: Azure Infrastructure.
- Existing tags: Azure, Azure CLI, PowerShell.
- Required tags: Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Entra ID, FSLogix, Azure Files, Azure Monitor, Autoscale.

## Media

- Cover: `azure-virtual-desktop-deep-dive-cover.png`.
- Cover alt text: Neon Azure Virtual Desktop workshop architecture showing a user, pooled Windows hosts, Azure Files profiles, monitoring, scaling, one running host, and one deallocated host.
- Use the ten numbered Portal screenshots in article order.
- Omit screenshot 6 unless a real licensed FSLogix VHDX and two-host marker proof exists.
- Every uploaded image needs the descriptive alt text already used in `workshop-article.md`.
- Upload `azure-virtual-desktop-deep-dive-workshop.zip` and include a clearly labeled download section before Cleanup.

## Evidence disclosure

This run is configuration-only for profile persistence unless private runtime state says `Verified-HostSwitch` and the live-test report contains the real marker/VHDX checks.

If the status is `NotTested-LicenseUnavailable`:

- retain the Evidence-mode warning near the top;
- retain the explicit unverified sentence in Final result;
- do not upload an FSLogix VHDX screenshot;
- do not describe any user session, connection, marker, VHDX, or host switch as completed.

## Ricos conversion

1. Convert the master Markdown in logical sections smaller than 9,000 characters.
2. Preserve heading levels, lists, tables, inline code, fenced PowerShell/KQL blocks, and hyperlinks.
3. Upload the cover, sanitized screenshots, and ZIP before resolving media nodes.
4. Replace Markdown image placeholders with Wix image nodes and descriptive alt text.
5. Insert a Wix download/file node or a prominent linked button for the ZIP.
6. Merge the ordered node arrays into one Ricos document.
7. Validate the complete Ricos document before creating the draft.
8. Preview the draft and verify code blocks, table wrapping, image cropping, links, and mobile readability.

## Workshops page tile

- Duplicate the existing Azure Landing Zone workshop tile.
- Position the new tile immediately after Landing Zone on desktop and mobile.
- Replace media with the AVD cover.
- Tile title: Azure Virtual Desktop Deep Dive.
- Tile description: Entra Join • FSLogix • Autoscale • Insights.
- Tile alt text: Open the Azure Virtual Desktop Deep Dive workshop.
- Link to `/post/azure-virtual-desktop-deep-dive-entra-join-fslogix-scaling-plans-monitoring`.
- Preview desktop and mobile; verify the tile opens the draft preview before public publication.

## Publication gates

- Do not create the blog post as public or publish the Workshops page without explicit action-time confirmation.
- Create and review the post as a draft first.
- After confirmation, publish the post, publish the page, and verify the live post, ZIP download, desktop tile, and mobile tile.
