| -The Azure Virtual Desktop service recommends FSLogix profile containers as a user profile solution. FSLogix is designed to roam profiles in remote computing environments, such as Azure Virtual Desktop. It stores a complete user profile in a single container. At sign in, this container is dynamically attached to the computing environment using natively supported Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) and Hyper-V Virtual Hard disk (VHDX). The user profile is immediately available and appears in the system exactly like a native user profile. This article describes how FSLogix profile containers used with Azure Files function in Azure Virtual Desktop. |

| -- Azure Files storage account must be in the same region as the session host VMs. |
79 |
| -- Azure Files permissions should match permissions described in [Requirements - Profile Containers](/fslogix/fslogix-storage-config-ht). |

| 79 | + - The storage account must be in the same region as the session host VMs. |
| 80 | + - Azure Files permissions should match permissions described in [Configure SMB Storage Permissions for FSLogix](/fslogix/fslogix-storage-config-ht). |
| 81 | + - Azure Files has limits on the number of open handles per root directory, directory, and file. For more information on the limits and sizing guidance, see [Azure Files scalability and performance targets](../storage/files/storage-files-scale-targets.md#file-scale-targets) and [Azure Files sizing guidance for Azure Virtual Desktop](../storage/files/storage-files-scale-targets.md#azure-files-sizing-guidance-for-azure-virtual-desktop). |
80 | 82 | - Each host pool VM must be built of the same type and size VM based on the same master image.
|
81 | 83 | - Each host pool VM must be in the same resource group to aid management, scaling and updating.
|
82 | 84 | - For optimal performance, the storage solution and the FSLogix profile container should be in the same data center location.
|
83 | 85 | - The storage account containing the master image must be in the same region and subscription where the VMs are being provisioned.
