 Using Azure Virtual Desktop on Azure Stack HCI, you can deploy session hosts for Azure Virtual Desktop where you need them. If you already have an existing on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) deployment, Azure Virtual Desktop on Azure Stack HCI can improve your experience. If you're already using Azure Virtual Desktop with your session hosts in Azure, you can extend your deployment to your on-premises infrastructure to better meet your performance or data locality needs.

 - Azure Stack HCI supports many types of hardware and on-premises networking capabilities, so performance and user density might vary compared to session hosts running on Azure. Azure Virtual Desktop's [virtual machine sizing guidelines](/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/virtual-machine-recs) are broad, so you should use them for initial performance estimates and monitor after deployment.
 
-- You can only join session hosts on Azure Stack HCI to an Active Directory Domain Services domain.
+- You can only join session hosts on Azure Stack HCI to an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. This includes using [Microsoft Entra hybrid join](/entra/identity/devices/concept-hybrid-join), where you can benefit from some of the functionality provided by Microsoft Entra ID.
