Regulations (legal and compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS) can unilaterally - meaning without negotiation or agreement from other parties - prohibit certain data or workloads from being hosted in specific cloud environments. For example, classified government data may be prohibited from public clouds by law. Multitenancy (A) is a cloud architecture characteristic, not a governing body. Certification (B) is a process of validating compliance, not a prohibitive authority. Virtualization (D) is a technology, not a regulatory framework.
