Windows 365 Cloud Apps

Windows 365 Cloud Apps allow you to grant secure access to individual apps hosted on a Cloud PC. Because Cloud Apps leverage Windows 365 Frontline licensing to charge on the basis of concurrent users, this can be a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution in scenarios where users need access only to specific apps rather than a full desktop experience, and/or where only a fraction of the total pool of users are likely to need access to the hosted app(s) concurrently.

Note: Cloud Apps appear for end users in the Windows app as standalone connections, similar to AVD instances.

As part of its suite of Windows 365 management tools, Nerdio Manager provides a streamlined interface for creating, deploying, and managing Cloud App provisioning policies, and for publishing Cloud Apps to end users.
