IG1 Cloud is a European sovereign cloud built on the tools your teams already master — open APIs, Terraform, S3-compatible storage, Kubernetes — running on our own hardware, in our own French data centers, under EU law. And it is the first cloud designed to be operated by your AI agents, not just by your humans.
For 25 years we have designed, migrated, and operated infrastructure on every major cloud. That experience taught us two things our clients keep repeating: the developer experience of hyperscale clouds is genuinely excellent, and the terms that come with it — jurisdiction, egress billing, lock-in — are increasingly unacceptable in Europe.
Sovereignty is no longer a slide in a compliance deck. It is written into RFPs, into NIS2 and DORA obligations, into board-level risk registers. But the alternatives usually ask you to trade the tooling your engineers know for something proprietary and slower.
IG1 Cloud refuses that trade-off. Same mental model, same Terraform, same S3 API, same kubectl — on hardware we own, in data centers we operate, under a jurisdiction that answers to European courts alone.
If your team can operate AWS, it can operate IG1 Cloud on day one.
Per-second billing, per-tenant cost visibility, and zero egress fees — ever.
Workloads, backups, logs and control plane stay in France, operated by a French company.
Open APIs, open formats, standard Kubernetes. Leaving is as documented as onboarding.
The same dedicated SDM and Tech Lead model as every other IG1 engagement.
A complete IaaS and Kubernetes platform, exposed through open standards only. If you can script it elsewhere, you can script it here.
Instances from general purpose to memory-optimized, launched in seconds and billed per second. Placement across two availability zones, with autoscaling groups for workloads that breathe.
S3-compatible object storage that works with the tooling you already point at AWS, plus low-latency block volumes for your databases. Snapshots, versioning, and encryption at rest included.
Isolated virtual private networks, subnets, security groups and floating IPs. Site-to-site and client VPN options extend your existing data center into IG1 Cloud without redesigning your addressing plan.
A production-grade Kubernetes cluster from one API call or one click — POST /v1/tenants and you get a hosted control plane in high availability, with workers in your own project, on your quota, under your policies.
PostgreSQL and Kafka delivered as managed services — provisioning, backups, failover and version upgrades handled by the platform and our on-call engineers, not by your weekends.
A private OCI container registry with vulnerability scanning, wired into GitOps delivery. Push code, watch it roll out, and keep a complete audit trail of who deployed what and when.
One gateway fronts compute and Kubernetes operations behind a single documented endpoint — OIDC-secured, rate-limited per tenant, CORS-locked. The same surface serves your portal, your pipelines and your agents.
OIDC single sign-on plugged into your existing identity provider, with projects, quotas and role-based permissions. Humans, service accounts and AI agents all authenticate the same way and land in the same audit log.
Per-second usage rating feeding real invoices, with per-tenant and per-project cost attribution. A live event stream lets your own tooling react to what happens in your tenancy the moment it happens. The commercial layer is code, not a spreadsheet.
No new mental model. Every building block maps to something your engineers already use every day — and to the same infrastructure-as-code they already wrote.

Status as of July 2026. Every line above is live on the platform — access is what is limited during the private preview, not the capability set.
Every IG1 Cloud capability is exposed through an open agent protocol — the same standard AI assistants use to call real tools. Your agents do not scrape a console: they call governed API operations, under your identity, inside your perimeter.
AWS made the cloud clickable. IG1 Cloud makes it operable by machines — and sovereign while it does.
“Scale checkout for Friday” becomes a sequence of audited API calls across instances, clusters and storage — not a ticket in a queue.
Agents inherit the same identity, quotas, role-based permissions and audit log as your human operators. Nothing bypasses policy, and every action is attributable.
Agent traffic never leaves our data centers. Your automation, your prompts and your infrastructure topology do not become somebody else's training data.
A single gateway fronts compute and Kubernetes operations, secured with OIDC and rate-limited per tenant. Portals, pipelines and agents all speak to the same surface.
The Model Context Protocol has become the way AI agents talk to real infrastructure — with more than 110 million SDK downloads a month, it is the fastest-adopted integration standard the industry has seen. IG1 Cloud ships an MCP server for the entire platform, so the assistants your teams already use can provision, scale and operate your environment without a single credential leaving your tenancy.
Cloud operations exposed as agent tools
European buyers now write sovereignty into their RFPs. IG1 Cloud was designed for exactly that requirement — not retrofitted to it.
Operated by a French company on hardware we own, governed exclusively by European courts. Both your data and your control plane sit outside the reach of extraterritorial legislation such as the US CLOUD Act — a distinction most “EU region” offerings cannot make.
Data residency is architectural, not contractual. Your workloads, backups, logs, metrics and agent traffic stay in the Paris region, on infrastructure we operate ourselves, with named engineers who are all subject to EU employment and data protection law.
IG1 already holds HDS certification for hosting French health data and ISO 27001 for its information security management system, and operates under NIS2 and DORA expectations. IG1 Cloud inherits those processes, controls and audit practices from day one, and is being designed toward the emerging European sovereignty schemes. Compliance here is a roadmap we execute, not a slide we show.
Open APIs, open formats, standard Kubernetes, S3-compatible storage. Your exit plan is as real and as documented as your onboarding — which is precisely the discipline that keeps us honest about earning your renewal.
The case for IG1 Cloud, in three sentences.
Your data, your control plane — and your AI agents — on hardware we own, in sites we operate, beyond the reach of extraterritorial law. No egress fees, and a cost model you can defend to a CFO twelve months out. This is precisely the requirement European buyers now write into their RFPs.
Terraform, S3 API, VPC networking, availability-zone topology. We productize the 20 % of AWS that customers actually use, and we expose it through the skills your teams already have — no proprietary dialect to learn, and nothing you could not reproduce elsewhere if you decided to leave.
A developer clicks — or an agent calls — and gets a Kubernetes cluster with identity, quotas and billing already wired in. That is a product your platform team can hand to the rest of the company, not just infrastructure they have to babysit.
“The next decade of cloud won't be chosen between sovereign and powerful. IG1 is both.”
Private preview — founding customers onboarding now, with white-glove migration from AWS.
One Paris region, two availability zones, in Tier III+ data centers operated by three of Europe's most reputable colocation providers. Physically distinct sites, independent power and cooling, private dark fibre in between.
Aubervilliers, Paris region
Primary availability zone. Dense carrier and internet exchange connectivity, with direct peering options for customers who need low-latency access from their own networks.
Vitry-sur-Seine, Paris region
Second availability zone, on independent power and cooling infrastructure. Storage is replicated across zones so a full site loss does not become a data loss.
La Courneuve, Paris region
Our third Paris site, already in production for IG1 private cloud and managed infrastructure, and the expansion footprint for IG1 Cloud capacity and backup targets.
All nine phases validated. Every phase was gate-tested before the next one started, and every fix went into the operational runbook our on-call teams use. The platform is built — what we are scaling now is capacity and the number of customers on it.
Three commitments that shape every line of the invoice — and that we do not intend to renegotiate once you are dependent on us.
Your data leaving our network costs you nothing. No per-gigabyte transfer charge, no surprise line item when you back up elsewhere, no financial penalty for keeping your options open.
Compute is metered per second, with per-tenant and per-project cost visibility built into the platform rather than reconstructed from an invoice six weeks later.
No proprietary service you cannot replicate elsewhere. If you decide to leave, your Terraform, your containers and your data go with you — and we will help you move them.
The private preview is open to a small number of organizations, with white-glove migration from your current provider and direct access to the engineers building the platform. Tell us what you run today and we will tell you honestly what IG1 Cloud can take on right now.

IG1 Cloud is in private preview: onboarding is limited to the founding-customer programme while we scale capacity. The agent terminal above is illustrative of the API surface rather than a recording of a live session.
