Azure VM for Thick Client

Job ID: 40236383

Budget: $30 – $250 CAD

I need a Microsoft Azure virtual machine (WIndows OS) to run a thick-client application with users in two different regions. Deploy in such a way that multiple users (4 maximum) can simultaneously access remotely and also have ability to share screen.I’m open to your recommendation on the exact edition that best balances cost, licensing and stability for day-to-day use.

Work involved
- enable Defender, set basic firewall rules, use entraID (which is already configured with on-prem AD)
-Configure secure Remote Desktop access with a non-default port and MFA where practical.
- Optimise performance settings so the app launches quickly and the UI stays responsive over RDP,
-Auto start and stop at specified time
