 The DRHC Lens provides comprehensive guidance for designing and operating Well-Architected hybrid cloud workloads with data residency requirements. By following the recommendations in this lens, organizations can unlock the full potential of [AWS Hybrid Cloud](https://aws.amazon.com/hybrid/) services while maintaining control over their data's geographic location. 

 The lens covers strategies for designing resilient and highly available hybrid architectures. It provides guidance on classifying data, establishing operational practices for data sovereignty, and using regional cloud services to augment on-premises solutions. The lens also discusses implementing controls to enhance digital sovereignty and restrict access based on location. It covers deployment of robust security measures across on-premises and cloud environments. Additionally, the lens recommends strategies for optimizing costs. This includes cost attribution through tagging, monitoring and managing Outposts capacity, optimizing workload placement, and managing data lifecycle to reduce storage costs. 

 Finally, the lens emphasizes the importance of automating processes to optimize DRHC workloads. This involves using AWS services and tools for automation and infrastructure as code, as well as establishing feedback loops to adapt to changing data residency requirements. 

 By applying the principles and best practices in this lens, organizations can seamlessly integrate on-premises and cloud resources while maintaining compliance. This unlocks the full benefits of hybrid cloud computing.
