Scaphandre: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Scaphandre is an open-source metrology agent for energy consumption. It measures the electrical power use of servers and attributes it to processes, virtual machines and containers, so that you can see where the consumption of your services comes from. The agent runs on bare metal, on QEMU/KVM hosts (passing measurements through to the virtual machine) and on Kubernetes through a Helm chart. Metrics can be sent to Prometheus, the Prometheus Push Gateway, Riemann, Warp10 or a JSON file. Packages exist for RHEL, Debian and Windows, among others. The README itself describes the project as being at an early stage. It can serve as an open alternative to the energy metering in hardware or cloud vendors' consoles.

Scaphandre is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and maintained by Hubblo, a French SAS. No vendor cloud is needed: you run the agent yourself and the measurements stay in your own monitoring stack.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Scaphandre

Scaphandre is headquartered in FR 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 Scaphandre scores best on data residency.

Scaphandre is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

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