OVHcloud Managed Private Registry: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

OVHcloud Managed Private Registry stores, manages and shares container images and Helm charts as a fully managed service. It is based on open-source software, including the CNCF Harbor project, and administrators can work through the Harbor interface or its API. OVHcloud handles setup, maintenance and administration. The service is sold on pay-as-you-go plans with different tiers for storage, concurrent connections and service levels, and images can be replicated across multiple regions.

OVHcloud is part of the OVH Groupe SA group, based in Roubaix, France, so the contracting entities are French and fall under EU law. The product page cites ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and 27701 certifications for the underlying infrastructure, but it does not name the data centres used for this registry. Organisations should ask which regions hold their images and confirm the replication settings before storing sensitive builds. Because Harbor is open source, organisations that prefer to run their own registry have that option.
