Microsoft Azure Zone Architecture with Citrix Cloud

Designing, Implementing and Operating CVADS using an Azure Zone Architecture

I'm curious how to handle the Cloud Connectors with respect to resource locations in Citrix DaaS. For each Azure region in play (and each correpsonding Citrix DaaS "zone"), Citrix states that you should deploy (2) Cloud Connectors per zone. Each Cloud Connector communicates via HTTPS to Citrix Cloud but also needs port 80 connectivity to the VDAs in each Azure region in play, as well as connectivity to AD DCs.

So, it seems to me that leveraging VNet peering between regions would allow for each Citrix DaaS zone to have only one Cloud Connector yet still have redundancy for that role by having VDAs failover to a Cloud Connector VM that's located in a different region via the VNet peering arrangement.

Have you experimented with that, or do you always deploy (2) Cloud Connectors in each zone?

Same question RE FAS servers...

Going cross Region fo VDA registration isn't a great idea, you should typically be designing each Azure Region as a self sustaining zone (Citrix DaaS Zone)

For each Region I would always do multiple Cloud Connectors, these may, or may not be Azure zone resilient depending on the customer requirement and zone availability within the region. Same goes for FAS, StoreFront, ADC's etc
