# Best practices

The following are general best practices for using FSLogix profile containers.

* For optimal performance, the storage solution and the FSLogix profile containers should exist in the same data -center location.
* Exclude the VHD(X) files for profile containers from antivirus scanning to avoid performance bottlenecks.
* In the case of AVD, Microsoft recommends using a separate profile container per host pool while having two active sessions.

For more information, see <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/example-scenario/wvd/windows-virtual-desktop-fslogix>.

In addition to SMB locations, FSLogix introduced the Cloud Cache technology (<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/fslogix/cloud-cache-resiliency-availability-cncpt>. Please review the list of advantages and disadvantages of each approach before d)eciding on which type of locations to use.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-fslogix-containers-best-practices/configuring-fslogix-via-parallels-ras/best-practices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
