SEAL Assessment: Clouds of Europe

Clouds of Europe scores SEAL-2 (60%) — strong on data residency and operational independence (all infrastructure EU-based via Scaleway), but weakened by US-based OAuth providers and an unmirrored npm/container supply chain. This matters because the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework is becoming a procurement gatekeeper, and organizations below threshold risk exclusion from public sector tenders. Top improvements: EU image mirroring, an EU-native identity provider, and sustainability documentation.
