Azure regions restrictions

Question

My company has global presence. We are using India Region where Landing zone is there and Web apps resides.

Our Singapore office used to access our web application in India before But now they have requirement that Singapore data should not outside of Singapore region.

My question -

1. Do i need to create a separate Azure portal ( Azure tenant ) in Singapore Region and again create landing zone in Singapore region and built web app using all azure services in Singapore region?
2. How can we achieve this?

Answer 1

Hi @AzurePro ,

to separate the data stored in India and Singapore you don't need a different Azure Tenant.

To achieve the requirement of data separation per country you need to deploy in Singapore (using the Azure location/region in Singapore for all related Azure resources):

• A new Landing zone
• New Web apps

Hi @AzurePro ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
Addition of Andreas Baumgarten response to meet Singapore's data residency rules, we recommend setting up a dedicated Azure landing zone in the Singapore region while keeping the current Azure tenant. This way, all apps, databases, and storage handling Singapore data stay local, preventing any data from leaving the country. Azure's compliance frameworks help meet regulatory standards and keep connectivity smooth between global deployments. Services like Azure Traffic Manager or Azure Front Door can route Singapore users to the regional setup, ensuring low latency and a great user experience. For stricter isolation, you could consider a separate Azure subscription within the same tenant or a new tenant in Singapore, though this adds some complexity in governance and identity management. Microsoft provides detailed documentation to guide the implementation of a region-specific architecture while staying compliant and scalable.
