Exoscale Compute

by Exoscale · 🇨🇭 Switzerland

Exoscale Compute provides virtual machines, block storage and managed Kubernetes from zones the company operates in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Bulgaria. It is run by Akenes SA, a Swiss company. Customers pick the zone their workloads run in, so where the data sits is a deployment decision rather than a fixed property of the service.
