OVHcloud Public Cloud
by OVHcloud · 🇫🇷 France
OVHcloud Public Cloud offers compute instances, managed Kubernetes, object and block storage, and managed databases. OVHcloud designs and manufactures its own servers and builds its own data centres, so the service does not resell a hyperscaler's capacity. Public Cloud regions are available in France, Italy, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom, and also in Canada, the United States, Singapore, Australia and India. The customer selects the region each workload runs in, so keeping data inside the EU is a configuration choice rather than a property of the product.
A European alternative to AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure.
