   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.

               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.
