Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a quick update on where you can actually find AmpereOne and AmpereOne M instances in Europe. We just published a blog post (Ampere Expands European Footprint with Broad New Cloud Deployments) with the full list, but here are some highlights.
If you’ve been wanting local access to the 192-core AmpereOne chips to reduce latency or meet data residency requirements, here is the current rollout:
- Oracle Cloud (OCI): The A4 instances (AmpereOne) are hitting London and Frankfurt.
- Scaleway: They’ve deployed AmpereOne in Paris and Amsterdam.
- Hetzner: They are currently qualifying AmpereOne. While general availability is slated for this year , it’s a big deal for those of us who rely on their price-to-performance ratio for bare metal.
- Glesys & C41.ch: Bringing AmpereOne to the Nordics and Switzerland respectively. C41.ch specifically has AmpereOne M ready for testing if you need the extra memory bandwidth.
- CloudSigma: They are leaning into the “as-a-Service” model (Tokens and Models) using AmpereOne M, which is interesting if you don’t want to manage the underlying infrastructure for LLM inference.
Why this matters:
More providers mean more competition and better availability for ARM64 native development. And having these options across different European jurisdictions makes the “Cloud Native” promise a lot easier to keep.
Are any of you already testing on these new instances? Also, do you know anyone at one of companies? We would love to reach out and see what we can do together with them.
