Azure Deployment and Data Residency for Codebeamer AI
The customer-hosted Codebeamer AI runs on Azure AI Foundry. It supports Azure deployment types provided by Microsoft, including Global Standard and Data Zone Standard, where available.
Azure deployment types used by Codebeamer AI
In APAC regions, Azure currently provides Global Standard deployments only. Azure Data Zone Standard deployments are available only in the US and EU regions.
Customer-hosted deployment does not restrict the use of Data Zone Standard deployments. If Azure introduces Data Zone availability in APAC regions in the future, customer-hosted deployment can operate in those environments without requiring product changes.
For details on Azure deployment types and comparisons, refer to Understanding deployment types in Microsoft Foundry Models - Microsoft Foundry | Microsoft Learn.
APAC region data residency and processing
Currently, Azure does not provide Data Zone availability in APAC regions.
As a result, APAC customers use Azure Global Standard deployments. Global Standard deployments do not guarantee that AI inference processing is restricted to a specific country or regional data zone.
This behavior is a limitation of the Azure platform.
For model availability by deployment type, refer Foundry Models sold directly by Azure - Microsoft Foundry | Microsoft Learn.
Customer impact
For APAC customers:
Customer-hosted Codebeamer AI is supported using Azure Global Standard deployments.
Azure does not currently provide a mechanism to restrict AI processing to a specific APAC country or regional data zone.
There is no workaround for this limitation at this time.
