Targets: sovereign hosting providers and countries¶
Canot writes to any S3-compatible storage. Built-in shortcuts (--to <provider>:<region> --bucket <name>).
Check each endpoint in the provider's console before use: they are still to be confirmed.
| Shortcut | Provider | Country | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
scaleway:fr-par (also nl-ams, pl-waw) |
Scaleway | FR, NL, PL | not SecNumCloud-qualified (to be checked) |

OVHcloud | FR | SNC offering qualified SecNumCloud (to be checked on the ANSSI list) |
outscale:eu-west-2 |
Outscale | FR | qualification up for renewal at the end of 2026 (to be checked) |
ionos:eu-central-1 |
IONOS | DE | |
stackit:eu01 |
STACKIT (Schwarz Group) | DE | |
aws:eu-west-3 |
AWS | FR | not a sovereign cloud; AWS European Sovereign Cloud also exists |
The same principle in other EU countries¶
The Data Act applies across the EU: same provider switching rules (Art. 23 to 31), same charges down to zero from 12 Jan 2027. What changes from one country to another: the financial supervisor that enforces DORA, the authority that oversees the Data Act, and national sovereignty requirements.
| Country | Why it is relevant | Local hosting providers |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | largest market; BaFin enforces DORA; strong sovereignty culture | STACKIT, IONOS, Open Telekom Cloud |
| Netherlands | financial center, many scale-ups on Snowflake | Leaseweb |
| Italy | many banks and insurers | Aruba, Seeweb |
| Spain | banks; Data Act through the CNMC | IONOS, Arsys |
| Poland, Nordic countries | heavy cloud use, local hosting providers | Scaleway Warsaw, UpCloud |
To confirm before selling: the competent authority designated in each country and the national qualification lists (SecNumCloud equivalents: C5 in Germany, ACN in Italy, ENS in Spain).
