Looking for recommendation to deploy and upgrade SaaS Product in different Azure Data center (different region)

sang delattre 1

Hi All,

We are developping a multi-tenants SaaS product. Front end is a Team App (React). Back end is basicaly App Functions, cosmos DB and API management.
App is currently hosted in Azure East US Data Center (DC).
Some prospects want us to comply with GDPR or other local data privacy regulation. Which would mean deploying our App in other region (EU, Australia, etc.) for both the storage and processing of data.

We could manually deploy the App and all its components in different azure DCs, but it seems no sustainable to upgrade everytime manually.
Upgrade is mostly pushing a new version of the app. In rare occasion we need to make change on the infrastructure

My question is then, what would be your recommendation / suggestion for us to deploy our app in different regions, and easily upgrade it too.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Thanks and have a great day.

Best
Sang

@sang delattre Thank you for reaching out.

You can use Azure automation to create automation runbook https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-services

And also ARM templates to define the infrastructure for your application, including Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, API Management, and other

When using Azure Cosmos DB, you can deploy separate containers for each tenant, and you can share databases and accounts between multiple tenants. Alternatively, you might consider deploying different databases or even accounts for each tenant, depending on the level of isolation required.

Hi @sang delattre Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.

As @Oury Ba-MSFT suggested, it is recommended to use ARM templates to deploy resources across multiple regions. All the resources you mentioned above van be deployed through ARM templates. Please find the following reference articles that will help you guide on creating a deployment resource for the above services using ARM template.

If you anticipate future frequent code changes that needs to be deployed across these regions, I would recommend looking into Azure Devops tools that enable CI/CD integration.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further guidance on this.
