Region flexibility for Cloud PC provisioning

Region flexibility for Cloud PC provisioning
When you select Microsoft Hosted Network with automatic region selection in your provisioning policy, Windows 365 now distributes Cloud PCs across multiple Azure regions within your selected geography. The service evaluates region health at provisioning time and excludes unhealthy regions to improve deployment success and resiliency. This feature helps minimize the impact of regional outages by spreading Cloud PCs across healthy regions.

Centralized RDP Shortpath configuration for Cloud PCs is now generally available
Admins can now manage RDP Shortpath modes—Managed, Public/STUN, and Public/TURN—using Microsoft Intune or Group Policy, enabling predictable and policy-driven behavior across Cloud PCs. Registry based policies remove the need for manual host configuration and ensure consistent Shortpath setup.

Migration API now generally available
The Windows 365 migration API has moved out of preview and into generally availability. This enables partners and customers to develop tailored solutions that streamline the transition to Windows 365. By leveraging automation with the Microsoft Graph API and integrating with Microsoft Intune, it allows users to move to Windows 365 more efficiently. This Migration API marks a major step forward in simplifying the migration of persistent VMs from Azure to Windows 365, minimizing both complexity and downtime.
