Exoscale
Cloud computing platform from Switzerland
Exoscale is a cloud computing platform from Switzerland with several server locations within Europe. It offers virtual servers in CPU, memory and storage optimised shapes, GPU instances for heavy computation, S3 compatible object storage, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, DNS and a CDN. The database service covers Apache Kafka and Redis next to MySQL and PostgreSQL.
API keys can be restricted to individual service groups such as Compute, and down to a single bucket for object storage. The company is owned by A1, one of the largest Austrian communication providers, so Exoscale is a European alternative with European ownership behind it. It suits engineering teams that want a complete cloud without leaving Europe.
