   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.

      Is it a real law? I mean I would largely ignore those kinds of regulations on the basis of sheers stupidity. After all, lawmakers of the world tried to ban math for multiple times in the last few decades. Why would anyone consider conforming to laws like that? Especially since its not possible to enforce this law.

         I live in the real world where we follow the law because otherwise some of us might end up in jail and all of us will be out of a job. We pick and choose through our elected officials here.
