You can create a published desktop pool based on either a manual farm or automated instant-clone farm of multi-session Linux host machines. Each published desktop can support multiple user sessions at the same time.
A published desktop pool and a published desktop have the following characteristics:
- Only virtual machines running RHEL Workstation 7.8 or later, RHEL Workstation 8.1 or later, RHEL Workstation 9.0 or later, or Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04 can support multi-session published desktop pools and single-session or multi-session application pools.
- A published desktop pool is associated with a farm, which is a group of Linux host machines that have been enabled for multi-session mode. The farm can be an automated instant-clone farm or a manual farm.
- Horizon 8 provides load balancing of the host machines in a farm by directing connection requests to the host that has the least number of active sessions.
