Before you can start with scenarios, you have to create logical switches for business groups. Several scenarios require a logical switch for the Production business group. For cross-region deployment of virtual machine, logical switches are based on the Universal Transport Zone and use the UDLR that is deployed in the shared edge and compute cluster in Region A.
