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.
Great news about Japan 🙂
I actually got my results from the experience calculator interestingly I have found that depending on DNS server that you use will change the response of returned location for rdgateway.wvd.microsoft.com.
I expect that this what is influencing my strange results.
So as pictured if you use google DNS 8.8.8.8 it returns an address in the Netherlands (using kloth.net)
