A Global Entitlement is unique to Horizon Cloud Pods, and is what we create in order to grant access to Horizon pools in two or more standalone pods. The process is somewhat similar to creating a Horizon pool, in that you specific some policy settings, but no actual pool is created as part of the process. You must create your Horizon pools individually in each pod that is a member of the Cloud Pod.
You do not specify the target Horizon pools when creating the Global Entitlement, only after, so it is not explicitly required to create them prior to creating the entitlement itself. For the examples provided in this section, we have already created both a desktop and application pool in each Cloud Pod member, and we will walk though creating and configuring a global entitlement for each.
