Scaleway Container Registry: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Scaleway Container Registry is a managed service for storing and managing private and public Docker container images. Customers do not run the registry infrastructure themselves: Scaleway handles installation, security updates and the underlying infrastructure, and each Docker action is checked against an API controller that validates tokens. The product page lists the service as available across the Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw and Milan regions.

Scaleway is a French cloud provider. Scaleway SAS, based in Paris, operates the service, and according to Wikipedia the company is majority owned by the Iliad group, which is also French. The company states that its services are located within the European Union and protected by its regulations, and it presents itself as a European alternative to hyperscalers. The registry page says images are replicated across internal object storage without naming other locations, so organisations should confirm storage locations and sub-processors in the data processing terms before storing proprietary images.
