Company Overview

About OVHcloud

OVHcloud is a European cloud computing provider offering IaaS, managed Kubernetes, bare metal servers, private cloud, and public cloud services — positioning itself as the primary European alternative to hyperscale US cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) with a focus on data sovereignty, European regulatory compliance, and competitive pricing. Founded in 1999 in Roubaix, France by Octave Klaba and headquartered in Lille, OVHcloud operates 43 data centers worldwide and manages its own global network, self-building much of its infrastructure to control costs. Listed on Euronext Paris (OVH), the company generates approximately €900 million in annual revenue.

Business Model & Competitive Advantage

OVHcloud's technical architecture is distinctive for hyperscale-style cloud — the company designs and manufactures its own servers, builds its own data centers, and maintains its own fiber network. This vertical integration enables aggressive pricing, particularly for bare metal dedicated servers (a market where OVH is a global leader) and VPS hosting. OVHcloud offers the full cloud stack: Public Cloud (OpenStack-based, with compute, object storage, databases), Private Cloud (VMware-based dedicated infrastructure), and Telecoms (connectivity services).

Competitive Landscape 2025–2026

In 2025, OVHcloud is positioned to benefit from European cloud sovereignty trends — GDPR compliance concerns, EU data localization preferences, and the EU's GAIA-X cloud infrastructure initiative favor European cloud providers. The company competes with Hetzner (German bare metal competitor), Scaleway (Iliad's cloud division), Deutsche Telekom's Open Telekom Cloud, and AWS/Azure/GCP for European enterprise cloud. The 2025 strategy emphasizes AI infrastructure (high-density GPU servers for AI training and inference workloads), strengthening its sovereign cloud certifications (SecNumCloud in France), and expanding its US and Asian market presence.

Remote development #2 – Security and Performance

In the previous chapter, we started the VSCode Server on a remote instance. That’s a win. However, as it stands, your installation is vulnerable, or at least not optimally secured.

Développement à distance #2 – Sécurisation et performance

Dans le chapitre précédent, nous avons démarré VSCode Server sur une instance distante. C’est une victoire. Mais en l’état, votre installation est vulnérable, ou du moins non sécurisée de façon optimale. Le trafic circule donc en clair (HTTP) et le port 8080 est exposé à quiconque scanne notre adresse IP.
