The ISO 27001 has me audited for just that (disaster recovery and monitoring) so that settles it, no?
Also worth noting that these are the two things you don't really get from the hyperscalers. If you want to count on more than their uptime guarantees, you have to roll some DR yourself and while you might think that this is easy, it is not easier than doing it with Terraform and Ansible on other clouds.
I have had my DR and monitoring audited in its AWS and EU version. One was no easier or harder than the other.
But the EU setup gave me a clear answer to clients on CLOUD act, Shrems II, GDPR, Safe Harbor, which is a competitive advantage.
