    Starting in January 2023, when you select the Singapore or Australia region to deploy your product, all the tenant data (such as configuration, telemetry logs, system logs, and stats) is now provisioned and stored in the selected region. The new behavior is available only for new licenses and new tenant activations in both single-tenant and multitenant hierarchies. The previous behavior was that only stats were stored in the selected region but the tenant, configuration, and logs were provisioned in the US or EU regions.
