Citrix Managed Azure is available for purchase directly from the Azure Marketplace and can be integrated with an existing Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service account. The service provides quick create scenarios that include easy-to-select machine type, region, and number of machines needed to make deployment of virtual apps and desktops in real time easier.
