 ## Key Vault Extension
 
-The Key Vault VM extension provides automatic refresh of certificates stored in an Azure Key Vault. Specifically, the extension monitors a list of observed certificates stored in key vaults, and upon detecting a change, retrieves, and installs the corresponding certificates. It also allows cross region/cross subscription reference of certificates for Cloud Service (extended support).

 ## Remote Desktop extension
 
-Remote Desktop enables you to access the desktop of a role running in Azure. You can use a remote desktop connection to troubleshoot and diagnose problems with your application while it is running.

-With advanced monitoring, additional metrics are sampled and collected at intervals of 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 12 hours. The aggregated data is stored in a storage account, in tables, and is purged after 10 days. The storage account used is configured by role; you can use different storage accounts for different roles.

 ## Anti Malware Extension
-An Azure application or service can enable and configure Microsoft Antimalware for Azure Cloud Services using PowerShell cmdlets. Note that Microsoft Antimalware is installed in a disabled state in the Cloud Services platform running Windows Server 2012 R2 and older which requires an action by an Azure application to enable it. For Windows Server 2016 and above, Windows Defender is enabled by default, hence these cmdlets can be used for configuring Antimalware.
