| ▲ | lucideer 13 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | It isn't but that wasn't the point. It's that sovereignty & redundancy aren't mutually exclusive | |
| ▲ | pwagland 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The UK, at least, is big enough that you can have multiple regions within the same country. There's a lot of distance between Glasgow and London, for example. Maybe not enough if both are targeted with nuclear warheads, but at that point, we have bigger fish to fry I suspect. Most European countries have enough space within the country to do that, and, for most things, except banking typically, hosting within the EU is enough, it doesn't have to be within your own country. | | |

And a "tickbox" one for multi-region requirements near Cardiff. The tickbox one has constant capacity constraints and a large number of Azure services aren't in it, but if you need to tick the "two regions and in country" requirement, you kinda/sorta can. | | |

| ▲ | gentlerain 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | True on first glance. But considering what these sovereignty rules aim to achive, and as someone mentioned, that the problem may be due to companies relying on a single region provided by a hypersclaler due to data sovereignity rules. Then redundancy has to be considered by both the company and the rulers. |

| ▲ | gentlerain 17 minutes ago | parent [-] | | You are talking about the dictionary definition of the words. But this is supposed to be about practical. What's the purpose of ticking a box about housing data in UK when you can't make it available after a single incident. |
