When you use an Azure Compute Gallery image to create a dev box definition, the Windows 365 service validates the image to ensure that it meets the requirements to be provisioned for a dev box. The Dev Box Preview service replicates the image to the regions specified in the attached network connections, so the images are present in the region that's required for dev box creation.
