This intermediate module explores the critical requirements of data residency, sovereignty, and cross-region compliance in multi-cloud environments. You will learn how to configure cloud storage to restrict data to specific geographic regions, manage cross-region replication securely, and implement guardrails to prevent accidental data movement that violates regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or local data sovereignty laws. The curriculum covers native cloud controls, policy-as-code enforcement, and auditing techniques to prove compliance to regulators.
