Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners in Azure West Europe (Netherlands)

Why this fits

• EU-resident Azure region used by most European enterprise tenants.
• Azure Azure West Europe (Netherlands) keeps your CI compute in NL for the duration of the job — useful for GDPR, RBI, HIPAA-adjacent and other data-residency rules.
• Audit-friendly — every job logs the region it ran in; data leaving the region requires an explicit step in your workflow.
