Ensure your review limitations and ensure you have the custom RBAC role set-up :)!

- Hi Eva and Mahmoud,
As per the document "Currently, autoscale only supports the Central US and East US 2 regions." I want to know which resource should be place in these two region, scaling plan, VMs or Hostpool metadata?- Seneca_Friend

The host pool and the scaling plan need to be in the same region. Scaling plans are now available in any of the following regions:
Canada Central
Canada East
Central US
East US
East US 2
North Central US
North Europe
South Central US
West Central US
West Europe
West US
West US 2
Thanks, evasse for the hint, I have updated the post with the pending configuration steps as well as testing and validation..
- Hi,
This is a nice addition. I see this is based on maxsessionlimit in the host pool, which is a hard limit. With the logic app scaling tool we could specify a session threshold per cpu (soft limit, ie it would still allow more logons) - is there any way to do this in the new scaling plan for AVD?
Thanks,

- Thanks for checking this out!
The Azure Function (Powershell) is not hard to configure, you must only specify some Parameters.
Its seems that scaling Plan is a nice new Feature, but why they make this with a max session limit at all?
The function do the max. Sessionlimit per Host, this is so much better.
Did i missunderstood this new feature?- The load balancing doesn't take the GPO into account. It is the session limit on the host pool that counts.
- When can we expect availability in Canada Central, any way to have access to that feature in our region earlier ?
- We are working to get remaining regions up as soon as possible. For exploring please use the available regions. We are looking forward for feedback.
