Abstract: A system and method for providing virtual desktops to client devices of users is disclosed. The system includes available cloud regions that each can provide virtual desktops and associated resources. A desktop pool resource management engine is coupled to the available cloud regions and collects constraint data from the available cloud regions as well as operational data from desktop clients and desktop agents. A cloud usage profile is created for a subset of the users from the operational data. A priority list of available cloud regions for a user in the subset is created based on the usage profile and the constraint data of the available cloud regions. The highest priority cloud region from the priority list is recommended for the user requesting a desktop. A control plane selects the highest priority cloud region according to the priority list to provide the desktop to the client device.
