   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.

            ... 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.)

               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
