|
||||
**Last Updated**: 2025-01-27
|
||||
**Status**: Comprehensive Compliance Framework
|
||||
**Standard**: Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document outlines how The Order project achieves and maintains compliance with Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty requirements, ensuring data residency, operational control, and regulatory compliance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compliance Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Data Residency
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirement**: All data must remain within specified geographic regions and never be replicated to non-approved regions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
- ✅ Azure Policy enforcement for region restrictions
|
||||
- ✅ Regional resource groups and storage accounts
|
||||
- ✅ Database geo-restrictions
|
||||
- ✅ CDN regional restrictions
|
||||
- ✅ No cross-region data replication (except for DR)
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check resource locations
|
||||
az resource list --query "[].{Name:name, Location:location}" --output table
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify policy compliance
|
||||
az policy state list --filter "complianceState eq 'NonCompliant'"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Operational Sovereignty
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirement**: Customer maintains control over operations with limited Microsoft access.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
- ✅ Customer-managed encryption keys (CMK)
|
||||
- ✅ Azure Lighthouse for customer control
|
||||
- ✅ Independent logging and monitoring
|
||||
- ✅ Customer-managed backups
|
||||
- ✅ Audit trail independence
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Vault Configuration**:
|
||||
- Premium SKU with HSM-backed keys
|
||||
- Soft delete and purge protection enabled
|
||||
- Private endpoints only
|
||||
- Customer-managed keys for all services
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Regulatory Compliance
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirement**: Compliance with local regulations, data protection laws, and industry standards.
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
- ✅ GDPR compliance (EU data protection)
|
||||
- ✅ eIDAS compliance (electronic identification)
|
||||
- ✅ ISO 27001 alignment
|
||||

# Microsoft Well-Architected Framework Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Last Updated**: 2025-01-27
|
||||
**Status**: Comprehensive Implementation Guide
|
||||
**Framework**: Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework
|
||||
**Sovereignty**: Cloud for Sovereignty Compliant
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document outlines how The Order project implements all five pillars of the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework within a Cloud for Sovereignty context, ensuring data residency, operational control, and regulatory compliance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Framework Pillars
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Cost Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
#### Principles
|
||||
- **Right-sizing**: Match resources to actual workload requirements
|
||||
- **Reserved capacity**: Use Azure Reservations for predictable workloads
|
||||
- **Spot instances**: Leverage Azure Spot VMs for non-critical workloads
|
||||
- **Auto-scaling**: Implement horizontal and vertical scaling based on demand
|
||||
- **Resource tagging**: Comprehensive tagging strategy for cost allocation
|
||||
|
||||
#### Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Resource Tagging Strategy**:
|
||||
```hcl
|
||||
# Standard tags for all resources
|
||||
tags = {
|
||||
Environment = var.environment
|
||||
Project = "the-order"
|
||||
CostCenter = "legal-services"
|
||||
Owner = "legal-team"
|
||||
DataClassification = "confidential"
|
||||
Sovereignty = "required"
|
||||
Region = var.azure_region
|
||||
ManagedBy = "terraform"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cost Management**:
|
||||
- Azure Cost Management + Billing integration
|
||||
- Budget alerts and spending limits
|
||||
- Resource group-level cost tracking
|
||||
- Service-level cost allocation
|
||||
- Reserved capacity for production workloads
|
||||
|
||||
**Optimization Strategies**:
|
||||
- Use Azure Container Instances for burst workloads
|
||||
- Implement Azure Functions for serverless compute
|
||||
- Leverage Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server with auto-scaling
|
||||
- Use Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management
|
||||
- Implement CDN caching to reduce compute costs
|
||||
|
||||
**Monitoring**:
|
||||
- Daily cost reports via Azure Cost Management
|
||||
- Budget alerts at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100%
