How To Add Multi-Country Data Residency and Data Sovereignty for WSO2 Identity, WSO2 AI and API Gateways
In an era of rapid geopolitical change, it is increasingly critical to maintain data residency and data sovereignty for customer data. It is also increasingly difficult to deploy a complete identity, API, or AI stack in numerous countries. Learn how to use WSO2 partner's InCountry data residency technology to deploy a single global WSO2 Identity, WSO2 AI Gateway, or WSO2 API gateway instance and fully isolate customer sensitive data in each country of origin.
