Global by design: learn about countries and languages supported

Our global network of datacenters offers three levels of localization to help you meet data residency, sovereignty, and compliance requirements.
Global

Access hyperscale, globally connected cloud services via the public internet deployed from regional Microsoft datacenters.

Local

Address local data residency requirements by letting all public cloud users in a country keep their data in that country.

Sovereign

Keep data inside the country of residence. Access hyperscale cloud services isolated from global cloud services and deployed from local datacenters.
