Re: "Follow the Law" computing

I guess I wasn't clear enough when making my point. Its not about migrating because laws change in any one country, or even in general. Its about looking at your overall compute tasks, and figuring out which jurisdictions are most beneficial to the current task and/or data needs. In other words, moving workloads around the world to make sure that the overall workflow is always executed in a legally friendly geography. Or, moving and/or replicating data to make sure the action you wish to take against that data is handled as legally as possible.

Its about automating loopholes.

Laws and policies don't change very fast, if at all. Can't think of any
circumstances where I'd really want to move or migrate data because of
this.

Seems like a stretch to me.
