Question

A multinational company operates Azure workloads in the West Europe and East US regions. Corporate policy requires that operational logs for European workloads never leave the EU for data-residency compliance, while a central operations team in the US must still be able to run cross-region queries for global service health dashboards. You are designing the Log Analytics workspace topology. Which approach best satisfies both the residency requirement and the central query need?

Accepted Answer

Deploy a regional Log Analytics workspace in West Europe for EU workloads and one in East US for US workloads, and use cross-workspace queries from Azure Monitor for global dashboards.

Answer

Deploy a single Log Analytics workspace in East US and configure all European resources to send diagnostic data to it.

Answer

Deploy a single workspace in West Europe and route all US logs to it to keep everything in one place.

Answer

Deploy one workspace per resource group across both regions and rely on Azure Monitor to automatically consolidate them into a global view.
