Cloud PC (Windows 365) for Citrix & Azure Admins

Why Cloud PC / Windows 365?

Cloud PC (Windows 365) is Microsoft’s modern, secure, and cloud-based desktop-as-a-


service (DaaS) solution that lets users access a full Windows desktop from anywhere, on
any device — with zero physical hardware dependency.

It’s the future of hybrid work and a huge career opportunity for those with Citrix and
Azure backgrounds.

Who Should Explore This Path?

Citrix Engineers:
If you've worked on VDI, Netscaler, or Citrix DaaS — Cloud PC feels familiar but with
simplified deployment and management.

Azure Admins / Cloud Engineers:


If you're already handling Azure VMs, identity, networking, or Intune — you're halfway there.

Cloud PC is where Citrix + Azure skillsets converge.

Why Cloud PC is a Great Career Move:

1. Rising Adoption: Most mid to large enterprises are shifting from traditional VDI
to Windows 365.

2. Built-in Security: Identity-based access, Zero Trust-ready.

3. Less Complexity: Compared to legacy VDI infra.

4. Low Coding Required: Focus on admin & policy configs, not app development.

5. High Demand: DaaS is now a standard ask in cloud infrastructure roles.

Must-Have Skills Before You Start:


Skill Area What You Need

Azure Administration AZ-104 level skills: VM, networking, identity, storage

Microsoft Intune For policy management, patching, security baseline

Azure AD / Entra ID User/group management, conditional access

Endpoint Manager For Cloud PC deployment, updates, device compliance

Basic PowerShell Optional but useful for scripting bulk operations

Patch & Update Management in Cloud PC:

• Option 1: Microsoft Intune – for policy-driven patching and app deployment.

• Option 2: Azure Update Manager – for update compliance and reporting.

Learning Roadmap (3-Step Path)

Step 1: Foundation

• Learn Azure basics (AZ-900)

• Complete AZ-104 (Azure Admin Associate)

• Understand Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune + Configuration Profiles)

Step 2: Specialization

• Deep dive into Windows 365 Cloud PC

• Learn provisioning, image management, user assignment

• Explore Microsoft Learn, Pluralsight, or John Savill videos

Step 3: Hands-on Practice

• Use trial tenants to create Cloud PCs

• Practice Intune policy creation

• Simulate patching and compliance scenarios


Where Are These Jobs?

• Roles: Cloud Desktop Engineer, Windows 365 Consultant, Modern Endpoint


Admin

• Look at: LinkedIn Jobs, Microsoft partners, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), large
enterprise IT teams

• Bonus: Learn AutoPilot, Hybrid Join, and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for more
versatility

Common Misconceptions

Myth Reality

“It’s just a VM” No – it’s a fully managed desktop service

“It’s only for coders” Wrong – it’s admin-focused, not dev-heavy

“It's only for M365 experts” Not true – Cloud infra + Intune = solid start

Final Note: Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Cloud PC

As the workforce becomes increasingly remote and hybrid, organizations are replacing
laptops and VDI setups with Cloud PCs.

This is not a trend — it’s the evolution of the digital workplace.

If you’re a Citrix expert or Azure admin, don’t miss the chance to pivot into modern cloud
desktop management with Windows 365.
