How to use AVD as volatile environment using Cloud-only ID

Question

I would like to use AVD as a volatile environment, which means every time user log off from the session host the user information want to be cleared.(os setting, downloaded files, installed application)

I want to achive this with Cloud-only ID

I know that I can use FSlogix to achieve this but when you use FSlogix,

you have to use Azure Files or Net apps and this solution have to use "Hybrid-ID"

Please provide me a way to achive this. Thanks

Conditions:

• Entra-ID joined VMs
• Cloud-only ID
• Pooled and multi-session
• don't want to keep profiles on the VMs after users are logged off.
