Abstract
Cloud agents interacting with third-party services via generic application programming interface (API) endpoints should adhere to data residency requirements. A system may intercept outbound API requests to help manage data sovereignty policies. The system can use a hierarchical region-to-jurisdiction map and a service capability matrix to determine a request's source jurisdiction and identify compliant endpoints for the destination service. If a compliant endpoint is available, the system can dynamically rewrite the request to target that endpoint. If no compliant endpoint is found, the request can be blocked. This technique may facilitate the enforcement of jurisdictional data processing rules by decoupling legal compliance from network topology.
