   I think this is due to the data residency requirements in UAE. I'm working with a client in the health space and the government requirements requires me to store data only in UAE! Tried with AWS but they were not allowing any new instances and I had to go with Azure.

      Hi, I'm from the future. You might want to consider storing the data somewhere besides an Azure datacenter in the UAE.

            turns out reading comprehension skills have still not gotten better in the future

               In the future, some companies begin to store their data on-premises away from big centralized datacenters. But many companies do not, due to costs and the general friction of changing how things are done.

               If OP tells me the name of his company I can hop in my time machine and tell him how it plays out.

                  MENA is the on-prem capital of the world, don't worry.

                  The 'at' in the middle tells me no. I also get Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law vibes but that could just be me.

            ... but not only in an Azure datacenter!

            (The obvious option here might be an encrypted backup on some hard drives in a safe in a local office.)

            1. rishikeshs · 1789652016 · focus · HN ↗

               What other options I have?

               I don't like Oracle. GCP has no servers in UAE. All other options were by local providers with not so friendly budget options

         Are you me from the future? I'm not talking to future strangers. Tell me to deliver the bad news myself from the future, in the future.

            It might be the you of Theseus. You really don't want to know what the future holds.

         I'm from the past and I concur.

            I'm waiting for a messenger from the future coming back to tell people that passkeys are stupid, and having passwords on post-it notes attached to the monitor was never a real problem, it's just the security industry that got threat modeling backwards for couple decades...

               Don't worry. After the great captcha war of 2029 there was an awakening and things got better for a while (until the Flock smart glasses incident...)
