There are a few people I want to thank for the continued and ongoing support they have given me during the writing of this book. First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife and my daughters, Vinita and Nikita for their encouragement and support throughout the process.

I would like to thank BPB Publications for giving me this opportunity to write my first book for them.

With VDI deployments, IT teams would need to build and manage several gold images such that they can be used as templates for these virtual desktop machines so that the right applications can be delivered to the correct end users. It also meant that they would potentially need to rebuild a gold image just so that they could update a single application. This would mean spending a large proportion of their time building and configuring desktop images, taking time, and even worse, introducing end user downtime should anything go wrong.

To address this issue of having several different gold builds to manage applications and operating systems as one, admins needed a solution whereby they could manage the applications independently. A way that is very familiar today in how virtualization works is by abstracting the operating systems from the hardware.
