Data and backup location
Primary data, backups and encryption keys can have distinct geographic or jurisdictional constraints.
The constraints Cloud must respect when placing data and execution.
INSIDE STATIC PLACEMENT POLICY
Placement Policy is an internal control-plane primitive for deciding where a workload may run. It turns customer requirements into boundaries for placement rather than leaving location to an invisible optimization.
Primary data, backups and encryption keys can have distinct geographic or jurisdictional constraints.
Approved hardware classes and permitted edge or public-cloud environments constrain inference and other work.
A workload can use outside capacity only where its policy permits that form of bursting or placement.
SAGE can explain the placement decision; it cannot quietly rewrite the customer’s constraints. Placement Policy is a system primitive, not another cloud company.
