Local vs Shared Storage for MS SQL Server's Always On Availability Groups: What's Required?

Is it a requirement for MS SQL Server's Always On Availability Groups to always utilize shared Storage SAN or a virtual shared storage like Storage Spaces Direct? Can I set up Always On Availability Groups using only the local SSDs, HDDs, or even virtual disks of my VMware Virtual Machine without shared storage, while running on a standard Windows Server? I'm planning to use this setup with the MS SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. -\>Planning a HA/DR MS SQL Server Environment on VMware Virtual Machines Planning a HA/DR MS SQL Server Environment on VMware Virtual Machines
