AVD Hybrid + Nutanix + Nerdio — I Did It So You Don't Have To

AVD Hybrid + Nutanix + Nerdio — I Did It So You Don't Have To

Last time I showed you how to deploy AVD Hybrid manually on Hyper-V — and it was a LOT of manual steps. Today I'm doing the exact same deployment on Nutanix AHV, fully automated with Nerdio. Same result, fraction of the effort.

In this step-by-step guide, I walk you through:

✅ Setting up a Nutanix service account and API key for Nerdio integration
✅ Connecting Nerdio to Nutanix Prism Central
✅ Creating the Azure App Registration for Azure Arc onboarding
✅ Building the master image on Nutanix AHV (including the VirtIO driver gotcha)
✅ Disabling BitLocker and running Sysprep for the VM template
✅ Creating a hybrid host pool and provisioning session hosts via Nerdio
✅ Connecting to your AVD session host through Windows App
✅ The 3 gotchas that will break your deployment (and how I fixed each one)

Whether you're migrating from Citrix, evaluating hybrid cloud VDI, or just want to automate your AVD deployment, this guide covers everything you need.
