 Generally, most nonregional services are either global or geographic, but not both. For example, Azure Front Door a global service, while Azure DevOps is a geographic service. However, Microsoft Entra ID is a service that can be either global or geographic, depending on how you configure it.

 ## Regionally dependent service components
 
 When you use a nonregional service, you don't choose a specific Azure region for the service itself. However, you might need to choose a region for dependent components that you use with the service. For example, if you use [Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/virtual-desktop/), which is a nonregional service, you can choose the Azure region where your host pool (virtual machines) resides.
 
 ## List of nonregional services
 
-Microsoft publishes a [a list of services, which includes nonregional services](https://azure.microsoft.com/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/table). The table below also contains the list of nonregional services, but specifies whether each service is global or geographic, and provides additional notes about data residency and configuration.
