Amazon EC2 regions and Windows Azure affinity groups - Security Considerations -


i read regions , affinity groups in amazon ec2 / windows azure. seems used first , foremost assure performance.

what concerned security. can these services "switch" region , transfer of data in cloud region if have performance bottle neck? couldn't find information far.

for employer it's important data never crosses regions since our clients demand data stays on european data centers.

in azure, affinity groups abstraction concept tells fabric controller best ensure groups of related services deployed ensure optimization inter-app communication. groups ensure services, storage, etc placed in close proximity whenever possible.

affinity groups bound regions, don't need worry ag switching countries on own, bound region.

in azure, explicit geo-location concept of region. if specify region binding datacenter (or virtual concept of dc) in particular geographical region. @ time there no ability move/migrate services among regions on own.

the fabric controller replicate across physical datacenters fault tolerance, action bound country-specific nature of region definition. datacenter 1 in north central replicated datacenter 2 in south central us, never european region. "anywhere" regions let fc determine best place code bound national boundaries.

in future wouldn't surprised (though i'd 50% chance) if azure had geo-replication option, highly doubt passive feature of platform. there many governmental , legal ramification turn on.
