Question
You are designing an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment.
You identify the network latency between the locations where users reside and the planned deployment.
What should you use to identify the best Azure region to deploy the host pool?
- A. Azure Traffic Manager
- B. Azure Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator Correct
- C. Azure Monitor for Azure Virtual Desktop
- D. Azure Advisor
Explanation
The Azure Virtual Desktop Experience Estimator collects round-trip time (RTT) samples from the client's location to Azure regions, so you can place session hosts in the region with the lowest RTT for your users. Azure Traffic Manager is a DNS-based load balancer for endpoints you already have, not a planning tool for region latency. Azure Monitor for Azure Virtual Desktop (Azure Virtual Desktop Insights) measures connection quality of an existing deployment, and Azure Advisor gives recommendations for deployed resources, so neither helps choose a region before deployment. Current product documentation also points to the Azure network round-trip latency statistics for the same purpose.
