Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To comply with data sovereignty requirements for sensitive user data in the European Union, it is crucial to store the data within the region. A multi-region bucket located in Europe ensures that data remains in the EU while providing redundancy and availability. Options involving storage outside the EU or spanning other regions violate the regulatory requirement.
- A. Correct.
This option ensures that the data is stored in multiple locations within the European Union, adhering to data sovereignty requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
This option spans locations in both Europe and the United States, which violates the requirement to keep data exclusively within the European Union.
- C. Incorrect.
While a regional bucket in a European Union member country could meet the requirement, it does not provide the redundancy and availability benefits of a multi-region bucket.
- D. Incorrect.
Storing data in the United States violates the requirement to keep data within the European Union.
