 - Scaling plan configuration data must be stored in the same region as the host pool configuration. Deploying session host VMs is supported in all Azure regions.
 - When using autoscale for pooled host pools, you must have a configured *MaxSessionLimit* parameter for that host pool. Don't use the default value. You can configure this value in the host pool settings in the Azure portal or run the [New-AzWvdHostPool](/powershell/module/az.desktopvirtualization/new-azwvdhostpool) or [Update-AzWvdHostPool](/powershell/module/az.desktopvirtualization/update-azwvdhostpool) PowerShell cmdlets.
 - You must grant Azure Virtual Desktop access to manage the power state of your session host VMs. You must have the `Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write` permission on your subscriptions in order to assign the role-based access control (RBAC) role for the Azure Virtual Desktop service principal on those subscriptions. This is part of **User Access Administrator** and **Owner** built in roles.
-- If you want to use personal desktop autoscale with hibernation (preview), you will need to [self-register your subscription](../virtual-machines/hibernate-resume.md) and enable the hibernation feature when [creating VMs](deploy-azure-virtual-desktop.md) for your personal host pool. For the full list of prerequisites for hibernation, see [Prerequisites to use hibernation](../virtual-machines/hibernate-resume.md).
