Today, we’re pleased to announce that Windows 365 is now available in the Brazil South region. Organizations can now provision Cloud PCs closer to their users in Brazil and across South America, helping reduce latency and support regional data residency requirements.
With this update, Brazil South joins the list of supported Azure regions for Windows 365, giving IT teams greater flexibility in how they deploy and scale Cloud PCs.
Note: Brazil South was previously available only through an exception process. With capacity now in place to support all customers, the region is now fully open for general availability.
To take advantage of Brazil South and future regional expansions, we recommend configuring your provisioning policies at the geography level using Multi‑Region Selection. This automatically places Cloud PCs in the best available region within the selected geography, improving resiliency and ensuring users always land on the optimal regional capacity.
Recommended next steps
Below are the tailored steps depending on the networking model your organization uses.
If you use Microsoft Hosted Network (MHN)
Microsoft Hosted Network is the simplest way to gain immediate benefits from new regions such as Brazil South. Microsoft manages all network placement decisions, so selecting a geography ensures your Cloud PCs are kept within the best available region automatically.
Steps:
- Review the documentation on enhanced resiliency with Microsoft Hosted Network.
- Configure provisioning policies to use Geography (for example, “South America”).
- Use automatic region selection for the most flexibility and scalability.
If you use Azure Network Connection (ANC)
Azure Network Connection customers continue to maintain control over networking and may need to update configurations to use Brazil South.
Steps:
-
Review the documentation on Azure Network Connection.
-
Ensure your ANC supports the Brazil South region, including virtual network availability and required endpoints.
-
Update provisioning policies to select Brazil South or a broader region group once your network configuration is validated.
