As more customers choose to host their infrastructure in Azure, there is an increasing demand for supporting Azure AD-joined and Hybrid-Joined devices with Frame. In this solution guide, we will demonstrate how Frame can assist partners and customers in leveraging the advantages of both on-premises and cloud environments through the utilization of hybrid-joined Frame workloads.

Requirements

To provide a comprehensive understanding of how Frame integrates with hybrid-joined devices, we will begin by providing context about our test environment configuration. While your environment may differ, the objective is to offer insights into how Frame can be integrated with your own unique setup.

Hybrid Joined Devices are supported with Windows 10, Windows 11 (excluding Home Editions), and Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 operating systems. More specifications and details around Azure AD Hybrid Joined devices can be found in Microsoft’s official documentation. Customers can set up Hybrid-Joined devices not only with Azure IaaS, but with GCP, AWS and on-premises AHV as well.

Azure AD Conditional Access (CA) rules can be implemented to provide an additional layer of security by integrating with the virtual machines (VMs) deployed by the Frame orchestrator. Administrators can define conditions that must be met before users can access certain applications and/or resources. By combining consistent IP addresses with Azure AD CA rules, organizations can better safeguard their VMs and protect against potential security threats.
