FSx for ONTAP Audit Logs with Data Residency in your region with Sumo Logic
TL;DR We built a serverless Lambda pipeline that ships FSx for ONTAP audit logs to Sumo Logic's JP (Tokyo) region deployment. For Japanese enterprises with data residency requirements under APPI (Act on the Protection of Personal Information), this means audit logs never leave Japan.
