Ola Holtberget It's possible that the documentation is waiting to catch up fully with GA but note:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/data-locations (last updated 09/27/2019)
'Windows Virtual Desktop is currently available for all geographical locations. Initially, service metadata can only be stored in the United States (US) geography.'

I'm not aware of new config options to select the service data location - are you able to provide some further information to clarify how the regional based locating of service data is configured please. It would be really helpful if you could provide some further detail to expand upon your reply.

From the template Windows Virtual Desktop - Provision a host pool, on the Basic tab the 'Service metadata location' only has one option 'United States' so it looks like the management plane is still US. Anyone from the product team able to confirm when this is likely to be expanded to other regions?
