> how does one go about setting up this sort of system of cloud desktop?

Check out Windows 365 Enterprise. We have it configured for multiple regions in order to minimize latency. One AD security group per US state. Then, we set up an intune provisioning profile per region to map them through.

You can push custom images or take the default 10/11 builds. It seems to be working out really well for us. I run a heavy VS2022 workload all day and have no issues (4vCPU, 16gb, 128gb). Build times are definitely slower than my 32 core battleship, but that's to be expected.

I just checked my RTT stats in MS endpoint management and I am seeing ~18ms between my desktop and the actual desktop. The worst case we have right now is S Florida to N Virginia (US East) @ ~60ms, but they are adding a new region soon so hopefully we will have every employee well under 50ms over time.
