To comply with strict data residency regulations, both the processing of data and the management/storage of operational metadata must occur within the specified jurisdiction. In the Anypoint Platform architecture, the runtime plane is where API implementations execute and process data. The control plane manages these runtimes and stores their associated metadata, such as logs and analytics. Therefore, to ensure full compliance, an organization must select a control plane hosted in the target jurisdiction (e.g., the EU control plane) and deploy its applications to a runtime plane (e.g., CloudHub workers or a Runtime Fabric cluster) physically located within that same jurisdiction.

A. Object Store v2 data is stored in the same region as the CloudHub application or in the region of the control plane for other deployment models, not exclusively in the US East.

B. Anypoint MQ is a multi-region service. Queues and exchanges can be created in specific regions (e.g., in the EU) to meet data residency requirements, making it a viable option.

D. Data encryption is a critical security measure often required by regulations, but it addresses data confidentiality, not the physical location (jurisdiction) of data processing.

1. Anypoint Platform for EU Control Plane: MuleSoft Documentation, "Anypoint Platform for EU Control Plane," states, "The EU control plane is a deployment option for the Anypoint Platform control plane that is fully hosted and operated out of data centers in the European Union." This supports the concept of jurisdiction-specific control planes. (MuleSoft Docs -> Anypoint Platform -> Deployment Strategies -> Anypoint Platform for EU Control Plane).

2. CloudHub Runtimes and Regions: MuleSoft Documentation, "CloudHub," details the available global regions for deploying applications. It shows that customers can select a specific region (e.g., London, Frankfurt) for their runtime plane, which determines where data is processed. (MuleSoft Docs -> CloudHub -> "Regions" section).

3. Anypoint MQ Regions: MuleSoft Documentation, "Anypoint MQ," in the "Regions" section, lists the specific geographic regions where message queues can be created, allowing alignment with data sovereignty rules. (MuleSoft Docs -> Anypoint MQ -> "Regions").

4. Object Store v2 Data Locality: MuleSoft Documentation, "Object Store v2," explains, "In CloudHub, Object Store v2 stores data in the same region where the application is deployed... For other Mule runtime deployments... Object Store v2 stores data in the region where your Anypoint Platform control plane is hosted." This refutes the claim in option A. (MuleSoft Docs -> Mule Runtime -> "Object Store v2" section).
