Peter Campbell Agreed. We are doing RDP for now just to build the environment. We've put off too many projects waiting for WVD to go GA that we can't hold off anymore. Citrix is a great paring for now but additional cost.
Massively disappointing but hopefully soon!
I was told by a WVD Specialist to use Citrix cloud too .....
It's cheaper to use our own on-prem Citrix farm We are only looking at this as its cheaper but paying for Citrix licensing negates the cost-saving on the multi-session Windows license and user CAL licenses...
If I took that to my management team they would laugh!

Peter Campbell Paul Maranzano roshanny : Just confirming what's been highlighted in most of the discussions, we are continuing to expand these service instances to reduce latency. We are definitely hearing lots of interest both in Australia and Southeast Asia, so we're working on expanding there. We should have more information for you in the next few weeks.
Christian_Montoya How can you claim the product is in full release when there are heaps of regions that have not been setup...Surely you should be standing up RDS infrastructure in all regions where Azure infrastructure is already based...
Not a fan of people patting themselves on the back for a job well done when it was a job half done.

Peter Campbell : The service itself is globally available and VMs in any commercial Azure region can register with the service. We definitely understand that latency is lower when there is not a local service instance, and that is something we are working on. We are taking customer usage into account in terms of continued rollouts, and Australia is definitely top of mind.
In the meantime, later this month, you should see reduced latency as a service instance will be rolling out to Japan.
