Windows Virtual Desktop is generally available!
soloji Did you check with the new user experience estimator we have? Is it really giving you that high a latency? I'm getting 240ms for RT from WUS to Australia Central 2 (which is not the best but definitely better than 540).

By end of 2019, we will have service instance in Japan and that should considerably reduce your RT to double digits.
I'm a little confused. So my VM is in Australia East but my rdgateway is routing through the US.
tracert rdgateway-r1.wvd.microsoft.com
Tracing route to waws-prod-bn1-043.cloudapp.net [104.209.178.67]
What RDGateway should Australian's be routing through? Is there a list of gateways?
How accurate is the WVD Experience Estimator? It's telling me best experience is in East US 2 with 206ms but Australia East is 446ms
I am also interested in this answer but I think from above there are no rd gateway servers in Australia with Japan to be next (hopefully not final) region that will be closer than US
Hopefully, it's quite unusable. I might start deploying but get clients to use the traditional RDP client over secure connection.

Hi
The egress DNS of the user is used for routing to the nearest gateway. Location-wise, your connections should be going to West US gateway. If you have google DNS then you can see the connections going to West US, for now and later in Japan.
I am also interested in an AUS gateway option. Even with Japan latency to AU region will be less than ideal. At the moment its 400ms RTT on the experience estimator tool.
