A biotech firm must meet strict data residency rules. Which Azure feature helps enforce this?

Azure Regions are geographically distinct datacenters that house Azure services. Choosing a specific region allows organizations to deploy their resources in a location that complies with data residency requirements, ensuring data remains within a defined geopolitical boundary. Availability Zones provide high availability within a region by isolating failures, but don't address data residency across different geographic locations. Resource Locks prevent accidental deletion or modification of resources, which is a security feature, not a data residency one. Azure Advisor provides recommendations for optimizing Azure deployments, focusing on cost, performance, reliability, and security, but does not directly enforce data residency.
