Abstract - India’s stringent data sovereignty regulations,
edge applications in India. By integrating localized data storage, AI-driven compliance monitoring, robust encryption, and governance tools like AWS Control Tower, the framework addresses India’s regulatory requirements while optimizing latency, cost, and scalability. Key contributions include:
notably the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023), mandate localized storage and processing of sensitive data, posing challenges for edge computing deployments. AWS Outposts, a hybrid cloud solution, extends AWS infrastructure on-premises, enabling low-latency edge applications in sectors like healthcare, finance, and smart cities. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework to enhance data sovereignty compliance in AWS Outposts by integrating localized data architectures, AI-driven monitoring, robust encryption, and governance mechanisms. Implemented in a simulated edge environment, the framework achieves a 25–35% improvement in compliance adherence, a 20–30% reduction in latency, a 15–20% decrease in operational costs, and a 40% enhancement in scalability. Case studies in healthcare, finance, and smart cities demonstrate practical applicability. The results validate the framework’s ability to balance regulatory compliance with performance, offering a scalable, secure solution for edge-based applications in India.
A compliance-focused framework integrating lolocalized architectures and AI-driven monitoring.
Ensuring immediate adherence to data location mandates and implementing stringent security controls during processing.
Validation through simulations and case studies in multiple sectors.
A flexible and secure edge architecture tailored to meet regulatory requirements and support longterm scalability.

India’s digital economy, projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, underscores the critical importance of data sovereignty, where data is governed by the laws of the country where it is generated or stored [1]. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act, 2023) mandates that sensitive personal data and critical data remain within India, imposing strict compliance requirements on organizations deploying cloud and edge computing solutions [1]. AWS Outposts, a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure- ture to on-premises environments, is increasingly adopted for edge-based applications requiring low latency and localized processing in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and smart cities [2]. However,
This paper is organized as follows: Section II reviews related work, Section III analyzes India’s regulatory landscape, Section IV details the pro- posed framework, Section V presents experimental results, Section VI discusses case studies, Section VII evaluates performance, Section VIII addresses secu- rity considerations, Section IX concludes, and future work is discussed thereafter.
Challenges like static configurations, third-party integration risks, and evolving regulatory demands necessitate tailored frameworks to ensure compliance without compromising performance.
2. RELATED WORK Data sovereignty is a critical concern in India due to stringent regulations like the DPDP Act [1]. Research highlights challenges in achieving compliance in cloud and edge environments, particularly for low-latency applications [5].
