MDT is just a files share. Nothing more. Full stop. Thus, as long as the clients can connect to it, MDT will work. Don't expect to PXE boot though.
MDT 2013 on windows server in Cloud
Hello, I have been using MDT for a few years now and been asked a question.
The company i work for want to move all servers to the cloud, Currently the server is on-site.
But anyone with any experience can answer wether the MDT setup will work on a server in the cloud?
Thanks

As long as you're not thinking you'd have your MDT server up in the cloud, but you'd be trying to image Workstations on Prem, that's just a bad idea, in my opinion.
