Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Elastx is a cloud computing platform from Sweden built on OpenStack. It offers managed Kubernetes, object storage and a web application firewall, and it runs three availability zones in separate Swedish data centres about 20 km apart, so applications can be built for high availability.

The company uses only renewable energy and is ISO 14001 certified. Standing on OpenStack rather than a proprietary API, Elastx is a European alternative that keeps migration paths open, and it suits Swedish and Nordic organisations with data residency requirements.

Sender authorisation

Google Workspace

Non-European provider

SPF include:_spf.google.com

Google Workspace is authorised to send email for this domain. The SPF entry can be unused or stale and does not reveal the configured data region.

Current DNS record ↗Provider setup guide ↗

This is a targeted check, not a complete zone inventory. Generic Google and Microsoft verification tokens are ignored because they do not prove product use or a data flow. DNS normally cannot list arbitrary subdomains or customer-chosen DKIM selectors, including Salesforce selectors. Missing signals are not proof that a provider is unused.

DNS checked: 2026-10-18 20:39 UTC

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
