Cyso Cloud featured as a European alternative on European Purpose

A year ago, searching for a European alternative to AWS mostly got you more AWS. The whole shelf was American, and "European" usually meant an American data centre with a Dutch postcode.
That's changing, and independent directories are leading it. European Purpose is one of them: a curated catalogue of privacy-first European alternatives to the mainstream tech stack, built for organisations who've decided that where their tools come from actually matters. And they've now listed us.
What the listing says
European Purpose features Cyso Cloud in Cloud Computing as a European alternative to AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Scaleway and OVH. Their summary, in their words: a "100% Dutch, OpenStack-based cloud platform with Managed Kubernetes, S3-compatible object storage, and load balancers."
The tags they attached are the ones we'd have picked ourselves: EU-based in the Netherlands, GDPR compliant, EU-only data sovereignty, an open-source foundation, ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certified, usage-based pricing, no vendor lock-in.

Anyone can call themselves sovereign on their own homepage. We do too. The difference is that a third party, cataloguing European options for people who care about them, put Cyso on the shortlist. That's more useful to a buyer than another line of our own marketing.
It also matters for how people find providers now. When someone asks a search engine, or increasingly an AI assistant, "what are the European alternatives to AWS," directories like this are where the answer gets built. Being listed there isn't a vanity badge. It's how a genuinely European cloud provider gets surfaced to the people looking for exactly that.
See for yourself
The listing is a good starting point. The platform is a better one. If you're weighing a move off a US hyperscaler, start with the direct comparison:
