The United Kingdom geography with two new Azure regions—UK South and UK West—is now generally available to customers. It provides world-class reliability and performance combined with data residency to support the digital transformation of businesses and organizations in the UK. The two new cloud regions will receive the same industry-leading levels of security, privacy and control, compliance, and transparency.
