Enforce Data Sovereignty with MongoDB Atlas Resource Policies
MongoDB, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
MongoDB explains how Atlas Resource Policies can restrict which cloud providers and regions are used for clusters to enforce data sovereignty.
The fourth post in a MongoDB series on Atlas Resource Policies describes these as organization-level controls that enforce infrastructure governance using policy as code.
It focuses on the Restrict Cloud Hyperscaler and Restrict Cloud Hyperscaler Region policies, which control whether clusters can be deployed on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure and in which regions.
MongoDB cites benefits including compliance and data sovereignty, avoiding cost leakage under committed spend programs, operational consistency and a stronger security posture.
The policies are written in the open source Cedar policy language, and the post includes example policies.
