Workspaces in regions far from where the users work.

Question

Do I need to create workspaces close to where the users work?
I saw a table that listed "fast", "medium", "slow" etc. for latency between regions.  But I can't find the table, and I didn't bookmark it!  Can you point me to the table?  I was surprised that London/N. Virginia was labeled "Fast." For a very simple setup, is it ok to reach across the Atlantic to your workspace?

Thanks!

"is it ok to reach across the Atlantic to your workspace?"
 - For comparison our region is 67ms round-trip time away, and Workspaces (and AppStream 2.0) are fine for anything we throw at them, including highly interactive graphics-intensive geospatial stuff.

Answer

You can see the latency table in the Connection Health Check website: https://clients.amazonworkspaces.com/Health.html
