Autoscale lets you scale your session host virtual machines (VMs) in a host pool up or down according to schedule to optimize deployment costs. Start VM On Connect lets you reduce costs by enabling end users to turn on their session host virtual machines (VMs) only when they need them. You can then turn off VMs when they're not needed. Autoscale and SVMONC support for Azure Stack HCI with Azure Virtual Desktop is currently in public preview.

Clipboard redirection in Azure Virtual Desktop allows users to copy and paste content in either direction between the user's local device and the remote session. However, in some scenarios you might want to limit the direction of the clipboard for users to prevent data exfiltration or copying malicious files to a session host. You can configure users to only be able to use the clipboard to copy data from session host to client or client to session host, as well as what kind of data they can copy.
