How Cloud Bills Now Tax Virtual Desktop Session Time
from Cloud Computing with Fexingo: AWS, Azure, GCP, and Modern Infrastructure Conversations Hosted by Fexingo
Episode 95 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna break down the newest cloud pricing twist: per-hour surcharges on virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) sessions. Using a mid-size retail client's real experience, they trace how Microsoft Azure and AWS now bill for each active Windows desktop session beyond a baseline — adding 15–20% to monthly VDI costs. They debate whether this is a justified pass-through of Microsoft licensing complexity or a deliberate margin grab, and offer practical tips for architecting session-host pools to minimize the tax. No fluff, just one concrete billing trap and how to navigate it. #CloudComputing #VirtualDesktopInfrastructure #Azure #AWS #Windows365 #VDIPricing #CloudBilling #SessionHost #WVD #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudCostOptimization #MicrosoftLicensing #AWSSessions #DesktopAsAService #ITInfrastructure #CloudTax Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
