OVHcloud

OVHcloud is a European cloud provider focused on sovereignty, cost efficiency, and flexibility, offering a credible non-US alternative to hyperscalers without changing the basic centralized cloud model.

• GDPR and French legal protections improve its jurisdictional privacy posture.
• Lock-in is lower than with hyperscalers because the service stack is less deeply proprietary.
• The platform spans public cloud, private cloud, dedicated servers, and bare metal.
• Its centralized architecture still allows provider access in principle.
• Historical resilience concerns were raised by the Strasbourg data center fire.
