Questions

How much is the Scaleway startup credit and how long does it last?

Scaleway's startup program provides €100,000 in credits distributed over 24 months. The credit allocation timeline varies by program tier — typically split between Year 1 and Year 2. Credits are applied to your Scaleway billing account and consumed as services are used. Unused credits from Year 1 may roll over to Year 2 depending on program terms.

Is Scaleway a good alternative to AWS for European startups?

Yes — Scaleway offers comparable core services (compute, managed Kubernetes, object storage, managed databases, serverless, GPU) with significantly lower pricing (40–60% less for compute), no egress fees within Scaleway's network, European data sovereignty, and €100,000 in startup credits. For European startups that don't require AWS's full service breadth (200+ services), Scaleway provides excellent value.

Does Scaleway support Kubernetes?

Yes — Scaleway Kapsule is a fully managed Kubernetes service with one-click cluster creation, autoscaling node pools, integrated load balancers, Scaleway Block Storage for persistent volumes, and CNCF-compliant Kubernetes without proprietary extensions. Kapsule is available in all Scaleway regions and is the recommended deployment platform for containerized applications.

What GPU types does Scaleway offer?

Scaleway offers GPU instances with NVIDIA L4 (efficient inference), A100 (high-performance training), and H100 (flagship training and inference) GPUs. GPU instances are available in Paris and Amsterdam regions. Both bare-metal GPU and virtual GPU configurations are available depending on workload requirements. Scaleway's GPU pricing is among the most competitive for European cloud providers.

Is Scaleway Object Storage S3-compatible?

Yes — Scaleway Object Storage uses the S3 API, making it compatible with all S3 client libraries (AWS SDK, boto3, s3cmd, rclone, etc.). To use Scaleway Object Storage instead of AWS S3, update your endpoint URL, access key ID, and secret key. No application code changes are required for standard S3 API operations.

What data centers does Scaleway operate?

Scaleway operates data centers in Paris (FR-PAR, multiple availability zones), Amsterdam (NL-AMS), and Warsaw (PL-WAW). All data centers are located in Europe, ensuring EU data processing for GDPR compliance. Scaleway's French data centers run on 100% renewable energy. Scaleway does not operate data centers outside of Europe.
