EU cloud migration agency

We move your workloads off the hyperscalers — and hand the keys back.

SaveOps places senior migration engineers inside your team, on a day rate, to move production workloads from AWS, Azure and GCP onto EU-sovereign infrastructure. We build alongside your people, transfer what we know, and leave.

  • Embedded in your team — not a report thrown over the wall
  • Billed on a transparent day rate (TJM)
  • EU-sovereign targets: Scaleway, OVHcloud, self-hosted
  • Reversibility by design — you own every credential

How we work

Engineers in your team. Not consultants on a call.

One senior engineer, embedded, moving real workloads. The same person writes the Terraform, reviews the pull requests, and sits in your stand-up.

  1. Map & scope

    We audit your hyperscaler estate — every managed service, every egress path, every hidden dependency — and grade what has a credible EU equivalent and what does not. You get the honest map before you get an invoice.

  2. Embed

    A senior engineer joins your team on a day rate. They work in your repositories, your CI, your on-call rotation. Progress is visible in commits, not slide decks.

  3. Migrate

    We move workloads incrementally, behind feature flags and dual-writes. Nothing is a big-bang cutover. Rollback stays possible at every step.

  4. Hand over & leave

    We document, pair, and transfer ownership until your team runs it without us. Then we go. You keep every credential, every runbook, every line of infrastructure code.

The service map

AWS and Azure, mapped to what Europe can actually run today.

The honest part. Some services have a mature EU equivalent. Some are viable with feature deltas. Some have real gaps. We do not soften the gaps — the honesty is the product.

20 capabilities

  • Object storage

    Hyperscaler Amazon S3 Azure Blob Storage
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Object StorageOVHcloud Object Storage
    Verdict Mature

    S3-compatible API. A drop-in target for most SDKs, backups and static assets.

  • Block storage

    Hyperscaler Amazon EBS Azure Managed Disks
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Block StorageOVHcloud Block Storage
    Verdict Mature

    Network block volumes with snapshots. Standard building block, well covered.

  • Virtual machines

    Hyperscaler Amazon EC2 Azure Virtual Machines
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway InstancesOVHcloud Public CloudHetzner Cloud
    Verdict Mature

    General-purpose and dedicated instances are a solved problem in the EU.

  • Managed Kubernetes

    Hyperscaler Amazon EKS Azure AKS
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway KapsuleOVHcloud Managed Kubernetes
    Verdict Mature

    CNCF-conformant managed control planes. Portable workloads move with little friction.

  • Container registry

    Hyperscaler Amazon ECR Azure Container Registry
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Container RegistryOVHcloud Managed Private RegistryHarbor (self-hosted)
    Verdict Mature

    OCI registries are commodity. Self-hosted Harbor is a fully sovereign fallback.

  • Managed PostgreSQL

    Hyperscaler Amazon RDS / Aurora Azure Database for PostgreSQL
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Managed DatabaseOVHcloud Managed DatabasesAiven for PostgreSQL
    Verdict Viable

    Standard PostgreSQL is well served. Aurora-specific features (e.g. global database, serverless v2 autoscaling) have no exact twin — plan around them.

  • Managed cache (Redis/Valkey)

    Hyperscaler Amazon ElastiCache Azure Cache for Redis
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Managed Database for RedisAiven for Valkey/Redis
    Verdict Viable

    In-memory caching is well covered; Valkey is the emerging open successor to Redis.

  • Message queue / pub-sub

    Hyperscaler Amazon SQS / SNS Azure Service Bus
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Messaging & QueuingSelf-hosted NATS / RabbitMQ
    Verdict Viable

    Scaleway offers SQS/SNS-compatible endpoints; self-hosted NATS covers the rest.

  • Event streaming (Kafka)

    Hyperscaler Amazon MSK / Kinesis Azure Event Hubs
    EU-sovereign path Aiven for Apache KafkaSelf-hosted Kafka / Redpanda
    Verdict Viable

    Aiven runs managed Kafka in EU regions. Kinesis's exact API is not replicated — target Kafka.

  • Authoritative DNS

    Hyperscaler Amazon Route 53 Azure DNS
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Domains & DNSOVHcloud DNSBunny DNS
    Verdict Viable

    Managed authoritative DNS is well covered. Route 53's routing policies need a manual rebuild.

  • Transactional email

    Hyperscaler Amazon SES Azure Communication Services
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Transactional EmailBrevo (FR)
    Verdict Viable

    Scaleway TEM and Brevo (French) cover sending, reputation and analytics from the EU.

  • Secrets & key management

    Hyperscaler AWS Secrets Manager / KMS Azure Key Vault
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Secret ManagerHashiCorp Vault (self-hosted)
    Verdict Viable

    Managed secret storage exists; self-hosted Vault gives full control including HSM-backed keys.

  • Serverless containers

    Hyperscaler AWS Fargate Azure Container Instances
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Serverless Containers
    Verdict Viable

    Scale-to-zero container hosting exists and is production-ready for request-driven workloads.

  • Customer identity (CIAM)

    Hyperscaler Amazon Cognito Azure AD B2C
    EU-sovereign path Keycloak (self-hosted)ZitadelOry
    Verdict Viable

    No managed Cognito clone, but self-hosted Keycloak and EU-based Zitadel are mature and widely run.

  • Serverless functions (FaaS)

    Hyperscaler AWS Lambda Azure Functions
    EU-sovereign path Scaleway Serverless FunctionsOVHcloud Functions
    Verdict Partial

    The runtimes exist, but Lambda's breadth of native event sources and mature cold-start tuning is not matched. Fine for HTTP and cron; harder for deep event-driven fan-out.

  • Global CDN & edge compute

    Hyperscaler Amazon CloudFront / Lambda@Edge Azure Front Door
    EU-sovereign path Bunny.netGcoreOVHcloud CDN
    Verdict Partial

    EU-headquartered CDNs deliver content well globally. Edge-compute primitives (equiv. to Lambda@Edge/CloudFront Functions) are thinner and less mature.

  • Metrics, logs & traces

    Hyperscaler Amazon CloudWatch / X-Ray Azure Monitor
    EU-sovereign path Self-hosted Grafana / Prometheus / Loki / Tempo
    Verdict Partial

    The open-source LGTM stack matches the managed incumbents feature for feature, but you run it yourself. A fully managed, EU-sovereign one-stop observability suite is thin on the ground.

  • Managed ML platform

    Hyperscaler Amazon SageMaker Azure Machine Learning
    EU-sovereign path OVHcloud AI Endpoints / AI TrainingScaleway GPU Instances + Managed Inference
    Verdict Gap

    GPU compute, training and inference endpoints exist, but nothing matches SageMaker's end-to-end breadth (pipelines, feature store, model registry, tuning) as one managed platform. You assemble it.

  • Cloud data warehouse

    Hyperscaler Amazon Redshift Azure Synapse
    EU-sovereign path ClickHouse (self-hosted)Aiven for ClickHouse
    Verdict Gap

    There is no EU-sovereign, fully managed columnar warehouse with the convenience of Redshift or BigQuery. ClickHouse (self-hosted or via Aiven) is excellent and fast — but it is a different operating model, not a drop-in.

  • Serverless wide-column NoSQL

    Hyperscaler Amazon DynamoDB Azure Cosmos DB
    EU-sovereign path ScyllaDB (self-hosted)Self-hosted CassandraFerretDB / MongoDB-compatible
    Verdict Gap

    DynamoDB's serverless billing and single-digit-ms scale have no EU-sovereign managed equivalent. ScyllaDB/Cassandra deliver the performance, but you run the cluster and lose the pay-per-request model.

Verdicts are conservative and reflect managed, EU-jurisdiction offerings as of 2026. Provider feature sets move quickly — we re-check on every engagement.

Where Europe still has gaps

We'll tell you what doesn't move cleanly — before you sign.

Concessions, stated plainly. If your architecture leans hard on any of these, the migration is real engineering, not a lift-and-shift.

  • Serverless breadth

    AWS Lambda's trigger ecosystem and cold-start tuning outrun the EU serverless offerings. Scaleway and OVHcloud Functions are viable for many workloads, but event-source parity is not there yet.

  • Managed ML platforms

    There is no EU-sovereign equal to SageMaker's end-to-end breadth. OVHcloud AI Endpoints and Scaleway GPU instances cover training and inference, but you assemble more of the platform yourself.

  • Global edge & CDN

    CloudFront's point-of-presence density and edge-compute maturity lead the field. EU-headquartered CDNs (Bunny, Gcore) are strong in Europe and credible globally, but plan for fewer edge-compute primitives.

  • Serverless data stores

    DynamoDB's serverless model and the Redshift / BigQuery convenience have no drop-in EU-sovereign managed twin. ClickHouse and ScyllaDB — self-hosted or via Aiven — are the realistic path. They are excellent, but they are not zero-ops.

  • The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is real

    AWS's European Sovereign Cloud is genuine engineering, operated by EU-based personnel under EU control. If it fits your risk model, we will say so. Our job is the right move, not a dogmatic one.
