Some nonregional services enable customers to specify the region where some components are deployed. For example, [Azure Virtual Desktop](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/virtual-desktop/) is a geographic service, so its core components are deployed within a geography instead of a specific Azure region.

Most Azure services that store customer data allow the customer to specify the specific regions in which their data is stored. One exception is [Microsoft Entra ID](https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/identity-access/microsoft-entra-id).

For more information, see [Microsoft Entra ID and data residency](/entra/fundamentals/data-residency).
