An open-source cloud for the European Union. Hardware we own, a stack anyone can audit, operated under EU law — growing deliberately.
Not marketing language. Constraints we publish, hold ourselves to, and review annually in the open. If we break them, we cease to be central.eu.
Our Bremen facility is owned outright — building, racks, metal. New EU regions launch on rented infrastructure, labeled as such, and are converted to own presence over time. Everything runs the open-source compute.cloud platform — maintained by foss.global, auditable by anyone.
Schedule workloads across our growing cluster of EU nodes. Automatic failover, latency-aware placement, no egress fees between nodes. Your containers stay in the union.
We are starting small — a handful of servers, ordinary fiber connectivity, no private backbone yet. We will say exactly what we have, what we don't, and what is coming. No vaporware.
Our own facility in Bremen, DE is live. Additional EU nodes in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris and Stockholm are planned — launching on rented infrastructure until converted to own presence. Nodes talk over an encrypted mesh on ordinary fiber.
We run your container workloads on hardware we own, in facilities we control, connected over an encrypted mesh on public fiber. No hyperscaler underneath. No US entity in the stack. Priced simply — per core, per GB, per month.
OCI-compatible containers scheduled across our EU node cluster. Latency-aware placement, automatic failover between nodes, persistent volumes, bring your own registry.
Reserve a physical node in our cluster for single-tenant workloads. Full BMC access, measured boot, your choice of OS or bring your own container runtime.
Your workloads talk to each other over an encrypted WireGuard mesh running on ordinary fiber internet from EU carriers. Public ingress and IP space are allocated from EU cloud partners and routed to our hardware. No private backbone, no IXP presence yet — we'll tell you when there is.
Block volumes attached to your containers or bare-metal nodes, replicated within our Bremen facility. S3-compatible object storage for unstructured data. All data stays on EU soil — residency enforced at the storage layer, not just contractually.
Our primary site is a purpose-built facility in Bremen, Germany. Owned and operated by central.eu — not leased, not shared. The stack is driven by open source: compute.cloud, serve.zone and modelgrid.com — all available on foss.global. Additional EU nodes will launch on rented infrastructure and be converted to own presence as demand grows.
We're starting honest: a cluster of high-density servers, redundant power and cooling, and ordinary fiber from EU carriers. Public ingress is fronted by EU cloud partners and routed to our hardware. Private interconnect and additional sites are on the roadmap, not the invoice.
