Region placement of AVD ressources
I would rate to choose an Azure region that is geographically close to your users to minimize network latency.
Thank you for the reply Kidd_Ip !
Obviously the Workspace is the gateway. And if this is placed far from from where Session Host are placed this would result in latency.
I'm not doubting you're right. But do you know if there's any documentation or test result that proves this theory? Thinking design document etc.

Hi mikkelmoeller
The Azure Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator provides the lowest connection RTT from a current location.

Microsoft recommends that you store all resources in the same Azure Region as your deployment of Azure Virtual Desktop.
