Two things to think through.
Dublin is an Irish reference for an audience, team or dependency associated with the region. Confirm where external services actually operate rather than inferring placement from a company address or a familiar brand. Compare the routes used by the real application.
For a team working across regions, define maintenance ownership, expected communication windows and recovery access. The most useful location is one the team can operate reliably as well as reach. Keep deployment notes and independent backups accessible to the authorised operators.
