MicrosoftWindows Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator
dhavalg - I am based in Australia and when I use the tool, it says East US 2 is the closest region? How is that possible when Microsoft has 4 regions in Australia??
Also the round trip is over 200ms!
Is it because Microsoft stats "Windows Virtual Desktop comprises the Windows desktops and apps you deliver to users and the management solution, which is hosted as a service on Azure by Microsoft. Desktops and apps can be deployed on virtual machines (VMs) in any Azure region, and the management solution and data for these VMs will reside in the United States (US East 2 region). This may result in data transfer to the United States."
Microsoftroshanny - Microsoft has regions in which you can deploy VMs all over the world. However, connecting to these VMs with Windows Virtual Desktop requires using the Windows Virtual Desktop infrastructure, which is not in every region. You will experience the lowest round trip times if your VMs are co-located with the WVD infrastructure, which is not necessarily in the Azure region that is closest to your device's physical location.
oh! I think this is the reason why I see UK RTT is lesser when i open the tool from Mumbai where West India should be having less latency.
As it connects with other service of virtual desktop like connection broker or gateway and then to the region of the session host. it is cumulative RTT of the VDI infra + Azure Region where the session host pools.

AquibQureshi - that's correct.
