Available Microsoft Regions

Introduction

As an organization you might want to store and process data in a region other than the current default West Europe. This might be needed because regulation and collaboration requirements. Or that certain services you need can only run in a different region. Or for any other reason that is important to you.

myDRE supports multi-region

anDREa has designed a solution that when a new Subscription is being added to the anDREa AAD, the region can be set for that Subscription. Since an organization can have multiple subscriptions in effect anDREa offers multi-region support.

Each subscription, and all its resources, is tied to one and only one region.
  1. Easy audit: all workspaces in a subscription store and process their data in the same region.
  2. Each tenant will get per region an audit database

  1. The selection in the link is Europe, feel free to explore other Regions.
  2. Also have in mind what type of resources are needed, for instance NC-series VMs (GPU), is not supported in every Region; change the selection on your requirements.


Important!
For now all the traffic involved in ingress and egress will still go through West Europe, anDREa believes this is for now acceptable because:
  1. anDREa has not have any clients outside the EER that might require this
    1. West Europe is EER
  2. The ingress and egress traffic and temporarily storage is encrypted
If/when this becomes an issue, anDREa will find a solution to ensure that the data involved in ingress/egress will be handled in the region the Subscription resides.
