Set up a resource location
Create a resource location and add Cloud Connectors.
More information:
- What are resource locations and Cloud Connectors?
Video about installing Cloud Connectors:
If you’re using the Quick Deploy interface to provision Azure VMs, Citrix creates the resource location and Cloud Connectors for you.
On the Overview page of Citrix DaaS, this step is titled Connect to infrastructure.
Create a connection to the resource location
After you add a resource location and Cloud Connectors, create a connection to the resource location using the Full Configuration interface of Citrix DaaS.
This step isn’t necessary in either of the following cases:
- You’re building a simple proof of concept deployment
- You’re using the Quick Deploy interface to provision Azure VMs.
More information:
Install VDAs
Each machine that delivers applications and desktops to users must have a Citrix Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) installed on it.
- For a simple proof of concept deployment, download and install a VDA on one machine.
- If you’re using an image to provision VMs, install a VDA on the image.
- For a Remote PC Access deployment, install the core version of the VDA for single-session OS on each physical office PC.
How-to and more information:
- What are VDAs?
- Installation preparation and instruction
- Command-line VDA installation
Video about downloading and installing a VDA:
On the Overview page of Citrix DaaS, this step is titled Register resources.
Create a catalog
After you create a connection to your resource location (if needed), you create a catalog. If you’re using the Full Configuration interface, the workflow guides you automatically to this step.
How-to and more information:
- What are catalogs?
- Create a catalog
- Use the Quick Deploy interface to deploy a catalog containing Azure VMs.
Video about creating a catalog using the full configuration management interface:
On the Overview page of Citrix DaaS, this step is titled Create a collection of resources.
Create a delivery group
After you create your first catalog, the Manage workflow guides you to create a delivery group.
This step isn’t necessary if you’re using the Quick Deploy interface to provision Azure VMs.
How-to and more information:
- What are delivery groups?
- Create a delivery group
Video about how to create a delivery group:
On the Overview page of Citrix DaaS, this step is titled Assign users.
Deploy other components and technologies
After you complete the tasks above that set up the Citrix DaaS deployment, follow the guidance in the Build area of the Citrix Success Center. You’ll find information about provisioning and configuring other components and technologies in the Citrix solution, such as:
- Citrix policies
- StoreFront
- App Layering
- Workspace Environment Management (WEM) Service
- Citrix Gateway service
- Zones
- Federated Authentication Service (FAS)
Complete other tasks that apply to your configuration. For example, if you plan to deliver Windows Server workloads, configure a Microsoft RDS License Server.
Launch applications and desktops
After you configure your deployment, publishing occurs automatically. Applications and desktops that you configured are available to users in their Citrix Workspace. A user simply navigates to their Workspace URL and selects an application or desktop, which launches immediately.
Send the Workspace URL to your users. You can find the workspace URL in two locations:
- From the Citrix Cloud console, select Workspace Configuration from the menu in the upper left corner. The Access tab contains the Workspace URL.
- From the Citrix DaaS Overview page, the workspace URL appears near the bottom of the page.
