Hello, I want to create a Virtual Desktop instance physically located in Germany, but the exact country where the data center is located is not specified, only West and North Europe. Can someone please tell me if creating a VD is possible on German soil? Thanks.

    @Tamas Horvath
    You can deploy session hosts in any Azure region to use with Azure Virtual Desktop. If your session host Virtual Machine must physically be located in Germany currently the only available region is Germany West Central. Please note that host pools, workspaces, and application groups (see terminology page) are currently not supported for Germany West Central. More information can be found on the Virtual Desktop Prerequisite page. Hope this answers your question. If you have questions related to Compliance and meeting certain requirements. Please see our Azure Compliance Inquiry Portal and feel free to reach out to the Compliance team.
