Scaleway Instances

French cloud (iliad group) with free egress. Production-optimised POP2 instances have dedicated vCPUs.

Fits teams that want a French provider with dedicated vCPUs and no egress line on the bill. List prices include outbound traffic within a per-instance cap of 400 Mbit/s to 6.4 Gbit/s, but not storage or public IPv4, so each instance adds a €3.65/month flexible IP plus block storage. Regions are Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw with no US option, and the cheaper BASIC2 range at €25.18/month may share vCPUs.
