Azure Virtual Desktop Metadata Database is now available in India

Azure Virtual Desktop Metadata Database is now available in India

Today I am pleased to announce that the Azure Virtual Desktop metadata service is now generally available in India, extending the service’s regional database capability to meet customer needs.

 

We are constantly expanding our footprint of Azure Virtual Desktop to ensure lower latency and an improved experience wherever our customers are around the globe. We currently have a service presence in every Azure geography. We’ve also enabled customers to specify the geography where we store service metadata and that’s great for organizations that require this for regulatory or compliance reasons as well as improved latency. You can choose to locate your Azure Virtual Desktop objects within a particular geographical boundary and have the assurance that the data will remain within that location.

 

This now extends the full geographies that are supported to seven, which are, the US, Canada, EU, UK, Japan, Australia and now India.

 

This new capability enables you to choose to locate your Azure Virtual Desktop objects within India and know that this data will always remain within that geographical boundary.

When deploying a host pool, you will now see that Central India is listed as a region to store the metadata:

When you create host pools, the metadata for those host pool objects is only stored within the geography selected. We replicate the data to the Azure paired region for disaster recovery purposes of the Azure Virtual Desktop service.

 

This is a rolling change so it may take a few days for this new region to appear in your subscription depending upon your location.

 

At this point in time Azure Virtual Desktop Autoscaling is not available in India, however this will be made available very shortly.

 

Azure Virtual Desktop is a premier cloud virtual desktop infrastructure solution, that securely delivers Windows desktops and applications from the world's most distributed hyperscale cloud. This is just another example of our commitment to making Azure Virtual Desktop a truly global virtual desktop service that provides the most extensive list of locations for geo-residency purposes and makes use of the growing number of Azure regions.

 

Learn more detail regarding the Azure Virtual Desktop data locations is available in this article.
