THE WHAT ?
Your organisation may have branch offices or subsidiaries spread across multiple countries.

THE WHY ?
Azure Landing Zones should be provisioned in regions closest to where the workloads are deployed, But there needs to be some guidelines/principles otherwise we would have Landing Zones in every region.

THE HOW ?
For this Article, we considered all Azure Data Centers

THE WHAT ?
Your organisation may have branch offices or subsidiaries spread across multiple countries.

THE WHY ?
Azure Landing Zones should be provisioned in regions closest to where the workloads are deployed, But there needs to be some guidelines/principles otherwise we would have Landing Zones in every region.

THE HOW ?
For this Article, we considered all Azure Data Centers in Europe: AZURE EUROPE REGIONS.

RULE OF THUMB:-

#	CRITERIA	DETAILS	PRIORITY OF THE CRITERIA	REMARKS
1.	Requirement from No. of Projects ?	-	P1	-
2.	Anticipating Potential Future Region Trends.	-	P1	Coordinating with Internal Stakeholders if the potential future region(s) can be used to the maximum.
3.	Availability Zones.	If the Region Supports Availability Zones to provide higher Availability across multiple Zones.	P1	Not all regions have three availability zones upon launch.
4.	Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery.	If the region may not have a paired region, which could impact replication and disaster recovery strategies.	P1	-
5.	Scalability.	Region may have limited capacity to scale resources.	P1	-
6.	Cost.	Review the cost model as prices of Azure Services can vary between Regions.	P1	-
7.	Data Transfer.	Data Transfer between regions incur additional costs.	P1	Evaluate Operational Impact. Time to migrate date depends upon - a.) Network Speed; and b.) Volume of Data.
8.	Performance.	Test the Latency and Network Performance from Application to meet the required performance standards.	P1	-
9.	SLA.	SLAs are adjusted until they reach full operational maturity.	P2	This is not for all Azure Services but Few.
10.	Data Residency and Compliance.	Region should meet Compliance and Regulatory of the Organisation Domain.	P2	-
11.	Sustainability.	Region operates on renewable energy Sources.	P2	Microsoft emphasizes on sustainable data centers.

Hope You Enjoyed the Session!!!
