Kafka for Architects
Data sovereignty is the requirement that data be subject to the laws and jurisdiction of the geographic location where it is stored or processed.
- How it is used
- Guides Kafka deployment choices when regulation constrains where data, metadata, and logs may reside.
- How deep it goes
- Explains jurisdictional requirements, cloud risks, and deployment trade-offs without detailing implementation procedures.
- Examples
- Uses finance, healthcare, and government workloads alongside regional, private-cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate Kafka deployment models against geographic data restrictions and operational trade-offs.
Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse
Data sovereignty is the principle that data is subject to the laws and governance requirements of the jurisdiction where it is stored or processed.
- How it is used
- Guides lakehouse catalog and storage architecture where jurisdictional controls constrain deployment and data access.
- How deep it goes
- Explains federated catalog responsibilities and synchronization requirements, but stops short of implementation procedures or configuration details.
- Examples
- Uses Dell ECS, AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, Ceph, and MinIO as sovereignty-oriented storage and deployment examples.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure a sovereignty-aware lakehouse by separating local catalog control from enterprise-wide discovery and access.
