Question

A European healthcare company wants to fine-tune a diagnostic model using patient data that, by regulation, must never leave the EU. The data science team prefers a fully managed cloud GPU service to avoid operating their own data center, but the compliance officer flags concerns about where the data is processed and stored. Which factor should most influence the choice of cloud GPU deployment?

Selecting a provider and region where compute and storage are guaranteed to reside within EU jurisdiction to meet data residency requirements

Answer

Choosing the region with the lowest per-GPU-hour pricing regardless of physical location

Answer

Using the region that offers the newest GPU architecture even if it is located outside the EU

Answer

Distributing the workload across all available global regions to maximize GPU availability
