How Cloud Regions Are Bidding for Enterprise Data Residency

Episode 37 of The Cloud Business Podcast with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine how cloud providers are competing for enterprise workloads by offering data residency guarantees beyond compliance checkboxes. They break down AWS's new 'Data Zone' pricing model in Frankfurt, Azure's sovereign-landing-zone strategy in Switzerland, and Google Cloud's 'Assured Workloads' expansion into Japan. The hosts explain why data residency is becoming a negotiable line item in cloud contracts, with specific numbers on cost premiums, vendor lock-in trade-offs, and the emerging role of third-party auditors who certify 'regional isolation' for regulated industries like banking and healthcare.
