I was wondering when reading their sovereignty docs why I wouldn’t just use OVH as it is a French company instead of a USA based company, and lo and behold they are just reselling OVH.
I have used OVH personally and it has pretty good prices, but over aggressive DoS protection. Some of my workloads were shut down because OVH internal tools decided that what I was doing must have been a DoS.
As a Canadian I welcome a Canadian owned cloud provider, but it is a huge endeavour to build that platform up from scratch.
It does seem kind of weird that they are building both a CI system and a cloud, seems like they should pick one.
I haven’t the slightest clue why they didn’t use rook/ceph (they run on k8s) for this which not only is a very reliable block storage system, but also offers a S3 compatible API, and is proven at other cloud providers like Digital Ocean.
I wish them the best but there is no way I would put my data into there.
Note, currently worktree is just wrapping OVH as their “sovereign cloud”: https://docs.worktree.ca/sovereignty/

Also they are using a home baked S3 compatible storage system and longhorn for block storage: https://docs.worktree.ca/updates/post-mortems/2026-07-20

I'll second Worktree. I'm US based and have been using it for over a year. Very, very happy with their service.
Disappointed https://aboot.worktree.ca/ doesn’t work.
