Retelit OCloud: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Retelit OCloud is the public cloud of Retelit, an Italian business telecommunications and cloud provider. It is intended for developing and running container- and Kubernetes-based applications that need to scale. It includes virtual servers, Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher and an autoscaler that adjusts resources to workload rules, with optional management and security services. According to the provider, OCloud is natively multicloud and can run alongside AWS, Azure and Google.

Retelit S.p.A. is based in Milan, Italy. The website names no owner or ultimate parent company. The OCloud page lists European locations: Milan, Frankfurt and Amsterdam. It makes no explicit data-sovereignty statement for OCloud. The privacy policy states that personal data is processed and stored within the European Economic Area, with transfers beyond it relying on standard contractual clauses, an adequacy decision or comparable safeguards. A self-hosted variant is not described. Ask the provider about the contractual terms that apply to your data.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Retelit OCloud

Retelit OCloud is headquartered in IT 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 Retelit OCloud scores best on data residency.

Retelit OCloud 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 Retelit OCloud together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
