For an automated desktop pool that uses full virtual machines, if you use a virtual machine enabled with VBS, you can add a vTPM device for enhanced security.

Instant Clones: With the support of Vsphere 6.7, you can use instant-clone API. In instant clones, multiple vGPU profiles can be used. You can either PCoIP or VMware Blast (non h264 hardware encode) as a display protocol with NVIDIA GRID vGPU for an instant-clone desktop pool and change the 3D vSGA or 3D software settings for instant-clone pools.
