Cloudfleet: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cloudfleet is a managed Kubernetes service based in Berlin, Germany. Its Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine runs standard upstream Kubernetes clusters that can span several public clouds and on-premises environments, with one managed control plane and a single console. Worker nodes can be provisioned automatically on AWS, Google Cloud and Hetzner Cloud, or any Linux server can be added as a self-managed node. An integrated container registry and a Helm chart marketplace are included.

The company's website lists a Berlin address, which places the provider in Germany and the EU. Each cluster's control plane runs in a region the customer chooses when creating the cluster, and the public documentation does not name a default region. Worker nodes run wherever the customer provisions them, including outside Europe, so location decisions rest with the organisation. For a European organisation that wants Kubernetes control and data to stay in the EU, the control-plane region, node locations and contract terms are the points to check before adopting the service.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cloudfleet

Cloudfleet is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Cloudfleet scores best on data residency.

Cloudfleet is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Cloudfleet together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
