You can use standard Azure Marketplace gallery images or [create your own custom managed image](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/capture-image-resource).

To find your tenant location (or Azure Scale Unit (ASU)), sign in to the [Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431), choose **Tenant administration** > **Tenant details**. Under **Tenant location**, you’ll see something similar to "North America 0501" or "Europe 0202". The rows in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager documentation are differentiated by geographic region, as indicated by the first two letters in the names (na = North America, eu = Europe, ap = Asia Pacific). Because tenants may be relocated within a region, it’s best to allow access to an entire region rather than a specific endpoint in that region.

### Active Directory Domain Services

Windows 365 Cloud PCs can be either Hybrid azure AD joined or Azure AD Joined. When using Hybrid Azure AD Join, Cloud PCs must domain join to an AD DS domain. This domain must be synchronized with Azure AD. The domain’s domain controllers may be hosted in Azure or on-premises. If hosted on-premises, connectivity must be established from Azure to the on-premises environment. The connectivity can be in the form of [Azure Express Route](/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/hybrid-networking/expressroute) or a [site-to-site VPN](/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/hybrid-networking/vpn). For more information on establish hybrid network connectivity, see [implement a secure hybrid network](/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/dmz/secure-vnet-dmz). The connectivity must allow communication from the Cloud PCs to the domain controllers required by Active Directory. For more information see, [Configure firewall for AD domain and trusts](/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/config-firewall-for-ad-domains-and-trusts).
