I mean it is crazy! I can log into a operating system (Windows Server 2016 DS) right in the window of my web browser! Even though my PC does not support virtualization technology (CPU has no support for VT-x or AMD-v), cannot run VM (e.g. VirtualBox), but I can use Chrome web browser to run Windows VM and execute EXE programs right on the cloud! Why is this possible? Anything to do with web browser front-end rendering technology?

Same as Teamviewer. It is just a form of remote desktop

QUOTE(ketnave @ Jun 12 2021, 06:48 PM) Agreed, it is Bastion, as a PaaS. But it is backend. Our frontend (e.g. web browser) must support also, which means it is only possible with HTML5 , without the need of Silverlight or Flash to support <canvas> <audio> <video> vector graphics. I would like to know further about how HTML5 is making the PaaS possible.

The browser only need to capture the mouse pointer position and send it to azure, the it sends back the video, there's no magic there.
