Description
Problem
Profile sizing recommendations diverge between the AVD and SOFS repos:
| Source | Default Size | Assumption |
|---|---|---|
AVD repo (docs/guides/fslogix.md) |
30 GB max per user | 50% fill rate at steady state |
SOFS repo (docs/architecture/capacity-planning.md) |
10–20 GB typical per user | 10–20% growth margin |
SOFS repo (docs/architecture/avd-considerations.md) |
5–50 GB typical (persona-based) | Varies by user type |
These aren't necessarily contradictory, but someone planning capacity across both repos sees three different numbers with different assumptions. This erodes confidence in our recommendations.
Research Required
- Microsoft official best practices — What does Microsoft recommend for FSLogix profile container sizing?
- FSLogix documentation
- AVD best practices
- Profile container vs. ODFC container sizing differences
- Persona-based sizing — What Microsoft recommends per user type:
- Knowledge worker (Office, Teams, browser)
- Power user (dev tools, large datasets)
- Task worker (single app, kiosk)
- Executive (light usage, Outlook-heavy)
- Growth factors — What growth rate Microsoft recommends (annual, steady-state)
- Azure Local specifics — Any differences from cloud AVD sizing due to local storage constraints
Acceptance Criteria
- Document Microsoft official recommendations with source URLs
- Create a standardized persona-based sizing table
- Agree on a default recommendation and growth margin
- Update AVD repo
docs/guides/fslogix.mdwith aligned numbers - Update SOFS repo
docs/architecture/capacity-planning.mdwith aligned numbers - Update SOFS repo
docs/architecture/avd-considerations.mdwith aligned numbers - Ensure both repos reference the same sizing table
