I'm part of a global game development company and we're currently using Azure for our infrastructure. I need a solution for our sales team to access the latest game builds remotely to demo to customers. I'm considering using Azure Virtual Desktop for secure logins and having a CI/CD pipeline to publish the builds. However, I'm unsure about the best Azure-native method for the actual publishing and downloading process. I've thought about using Azure Image Builder or Shared Image Gallery, but those seem more suited for VM or OS images rather than game builds. I also considered using a Storage Account with CDN or Front Door for global access with authentication, but I'm looking for advice on the best approach.

You could make it work with Azure Files, which can be mounted as a network drive in Azure Virtual Desktop. After you set up your CI/CD pipeline to upload builds using some PowerShell scripts, your sales team should be able to access those files without too much trouble.
Will that be user-friendly for non-tech people? We need something simple for them to log in and download the files.
