A multinational business needs to deploy Azure resources in specific geographic locations to meet compliance. Which Azure concept applies?

Regions are geographically dispersed datacenters that host Azure services. They are designed to meet data residency and compliance requirements by allowing organizations to deploy resources in specific geographic locations. For a multinational business needing to meet compliance in various countries, deploying resources to Azure Regions within those countries is the primary solution. Availability Zones are fault-isolated locations within a Region, providing high availability for applications and data, but don't address geographic compliance across different countries. Resource Groups are logical containers for Azure resources, used for organization and management, not geographic placement. Availability Sets are a logical grouping capability for VMs within a datacenter to ensure high availability, but again, do not address multi-country compliance.
