Exoscale

Not gonna lie: It still feels a little strange to scroll through an article titled “Underrated AWS Alternatives” and see Exoscale listed there. 😃🙂↕️ Or to read a roundup of “European-focused cloud providers praised on Reddit” and find ourselves in the mix. 🗞️ What we genuinely appreciate about these mentions: They don’t talk about us as “the cheaper hyperscaler.” They talk about clarity. About data sovereignty. About pricing that doesn’t require a spreadsheet detective. About infrastructure that works without theatrics. If the broader conversation is shifting from “biggest cloud wins” to “which cloud actually fits my workload, my compliance needs and my budget?” Then we’re happy to be part of that shift. 🤓 And being called “underrated” is oddly flattering. We’ll take it. 😅 Thanks to the editors and communities who continue to spotlight European cloud alternatives. When you evaluate providers, what’s your first filter: jurisdiction, cost predictability, performance, or ecosystem? . . . #cloud #multicloud #aws #devops #europeantech

Wer KI in der Cloud nicht nur „ausprobieren“, sondern sie sicher und souverän betreiben will, sollte sich diesen Talk dick in den Kalender schreiben! ✍️ 😌 Am 26. Februar 2026 von 11:00 bis 11:30 Uhr spricht Philip Möller, Cloud Solution Architect, auf dem DIGITAL FUTUREcongress – DFC KI 2026 powered by Silicon Valley Europe zum Thema „Sichere KI in der Cloud: Souverän & einfach“. 🇩🇪 In der Session geht es darum, • wie eine europäische Cloud zur sicheren Umgebung für KI-Workloads wird • wie automatische Provisionierung und flexible GPU-Nutzung den Betrieb vereinfachen • wie sekundengenaue Abrechnung hilft, KI-Kosten im Griff zu behalten • welche Ansätze es für eine nachhaltigere Nutzung von Cloud-Ressourcen gibt Kurz gesagt: Ideen für Teams, die KI in der Cloud nutzen wollen, ohne Datensouveränität oder Budget aus der Hand zu geben. 🤙 Teilnahme ist bequem online möglich, hier geht’s zur Anmeldung: https://lnkd.in/eypHP2qZ: . . . #cloud #ki #cloudcomputing #datenschutz #europeancloud

Remember when your Prometheus metrics lived fast and died young? 🤘 🥴 Managed Thanos is now live on Exoscale and available in all zones. It lets you keep metrics for months or years instead of a couple of weeks, using low-cost Object Storage as the long-term backend as well as a managed Thanos control plane on top. 🔝 What you get in practice: 1. Long-term, resilient metrics: Keep years of metrics instead of days, backed by low-cost Exoscale Object Storage and multi-zone high availability, all delivered as DBaaS. 2. One view across all your clusters: Aggregate Prometheus data from multiple clusters and query everything from a single global dashboard in Grafana. No more jumping between separate Prometheus instances. 3. Easy-Sqeezy-Setup: Connect Prometheus once and start shipping metrics via portal, CLI or API. We handle the control plane, scaling and maintenance. No home-grown storage hacks: just Prometheus as you know it, with durable, scalable history built in. If “How long do we keep metrics?” still ends with “until the disk is full,” this one’s for you.

Where do you draw the line between “we manage Kubernetes” and “we manage our applications”? 👀 With Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS), exoscale runs the control plane so your teams can focus on workloads instead of turning cluster operations into a second full-time job. In practice, SKS gives you: • a fully managed, production-ready kubernetes control plane • nodepools you define with your own instance types, disks and security groups • a 99.95% sla on the control plane in the pro tier • deep integration with exoscale networking, storage and security Swipe through to see how the control plane and data plane are separated in SKS and where the differences to a DIY cluster really show up. Have questions about SKS internals or want to compare with your current setup? Let’s talk! . . . #kubernetes #cloud #devops #europeancloud #managedkubernetes

Think your cloud data is safe just because it sits in an EU data center? The law might disagree. 🤐 Data sovereignty today is less about “where is my data?” and more about “who can legally reach it?” In a complex regulatory landscape ranging from GDPR and the EU Data Act to the US CLOUD Act, geographical borders are not identical with jurisdictional ones and it is the latter which decides whether your workloads are truly under European control. In our new blog guide, you’ll learn: • why storage in Europe is not enough for sensitive workloads • how data sovereignty, data residency and data localization really differ • which questions boards, CISOs and architects should ask about cloud providers in 2026 • where European cloud providers like Exoscale fit into a sovereignty-first strategy If you work with regulated or business-critical data, this is a solid starting point to reframe the conversation with your teams and vendors.

How does digital sovereignty look when it actually lands in a country, not just in policy papers? 🇭🇷 In Croatia, recent coverage shows a clear pattern: local infrastructure and European cloud are coming together and Exoscale is part of that story. Thankfully. Lider highlights how A1 Hrvatska’s Tier III data center in Zagreb and Exoscale, now part of A1 Telekom Austria Group, deliver “the only sovereign cloud available in Croatia,” keeping customer data stored and processed entirely in-country. And in the wider debate, Planet Crust sums up the shift neatly: “digital autonomy represents not merely a compliance checkbox but a strategic imperative” for competitive advantage and resilience. Swipe through for a few standout quotes from Croatia and beyond and see how sovereignty is becoming a concrete, local reality around Zagreb’s new Exoscale zone.
