Scope verdict

Non-European controlled

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

How we classify services

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.

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Mail-signing setup

Google Workspace

Non-European provider

TXT google._domainkey DKIM key published

A provider-specific DKIM record is published for Google Workspace. This shows configured mail-signing infrastructure, but not that every message currently uses it.

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.

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