A company must keep its customers' personal data within the European Union to meet a regulation.
It is planning which AWS Regions to use for the application that stores this data.
Who decides which AWS Region the data is stored in?
Choose one answer.
AA. AWS, which places data in the Region with the most spare capacity
BB. The regulator, which assigns each company an AWS Region
CC. AWS Support, after the company opens a compliance case
DD. The company, by choosing the Region for its resources
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D
A. Wrong: Incorrect. AWS does not choose storage Regions based on spare capacity. Customers choose the Regions where their content is stored, so this placement would not satisfy the regulation.
B. Wrong: Regulators set rules about where data may be kept, but they do not assign AWS Regions. The company decides which Regions it uses, within those rules.
C. Wrong: AWS Support helps with technical and account questions, but it does not select the Region for a customer's content. The customer chooses the Region when it creates its resources.
The customer chooses the AWS Region in which its content is stored, and AWS does not move that content out of the chosen Regions without the customer's agreement, apart from limited legal exceptions. The company therefore picks EU Regions for this data and confirms that the choice meets its regulation.
