### Configuration guidance

#### Choosing an Azure region

Some of the SRE resources are not available in all Azure regions.

- Workspace virtual machines use zone redundant storage managed disks which have [limited regional availability](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/disks-redundancy).
- Some shares mounted on workspace virtual machines require premium file shares which have [limited regional availability](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/redundancy-premium-file-shares).

### Copy and paste

The [Guacamole clipboard](https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/using-guacamole.html#using-the-clipboard) provides an interface between the local clipboard and the clipboard on the remote workspaces.
Only text is allowed to be passed through the Guacamole clipboard.

Copy and pasting of text to or from SRE workspaces via the Guacamole clipboard can be configured with the `allow_copy` and `allow_paste` settings.

`allow_copy` allows users to copy text from an SRE workspace to the Guacamole clipboard.

`allow_paste` allows users to paste text into an SRE workspace from the Guacamole clipboard.

These options have no impact on the ability to use copy and paste within a workspace.

The impact of setting each of these options is detailed in the below table.

| allow_copy | allow_paste | Copy/paste within workspace | Copy/paste between workspaces | Copy to local machine | Paste from local machine |
|--------|--------|--------|--|---|--|
| true | true | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| true | false | yes | no | yes | no |
| false | true | yes | no | no | yes|
| false | false | yes | no | no | no |

## Upload the configuration file

- Upload the config to Azure. This will validate your file and report any problems.
