仅欧洲替代方案 Vultr.
Vultr (operated by The Constant Company LLC) is a US-headquartered IaaS with strong global region coverage including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, London, Madrid and Stockholm. The EU regions are EU-located, the parent is US-controlled, and the CLOUD Act analysis matches every other US IaaS in this guide. Vultr has carved out a niche on bare metal and GPU offerings, both of which have credible EU sovereign equivalents. The migration is mechanically simple — Vultr's product set is intentionally narrow.
"欧盟区域"不等于主权。四个问题决定一切。
数据驻留告诉你数据在哪里。主权告诉你哪个法律体系可以强制访问。四个答案都必须成立——否则该技术栈就不主权。
数据物理存储在哪里?
不是"在云中"——而是哪个数据中心、在哪个国家、受哪个司法管辖区管辖。
您的数据路径中还有谁?
每一个接触数据的供应商:CDN、邮件中继、错误追踪、分析管道。
哪些法律可以强制披露?
美国总部的供应商受 FISA 702 和 CLOUD Act 管辖——即使数据存放在法兰克福。
谁实际持有加密密钥?
如果云供应商同时持有数据和密钥,无论 DPA 如何,他们都能读取数据。
在司法管辖权和密钥托管上失败。
欧盟数据、美国母公司、默认路径中的美国次级处理者、供应商管理的密钥。
四项全部通过。
托管在欧盟、由欧盟总部基础设施提供。默认路径中零美国次级处理者。客户持有或欧盟 KMS 密钥。在您的第 28 条 DPA 中按名称列出。
为什么团队正在退出 Vultr
Vultr migrations we have seen come from procurement audits (B2B SaaS or fintech), GDPR DPO reviews flagging Vultr as a US-jurisdictional processor, or — increasingly in 2025–2026 — companies reading their own DPA carefully and realising "Vultr LLC, US" is not a defensible answer to a regulator question. The EU bare-metal alternatives at Hetzner, Leaseweb and OVH are well-established, generally cheaper, and operate under EU law.
Vultr 服务及其仅欧盟等效方案
迁移不是"换一个盒子"。下面的映射是我们为离开以下平台的客户运行的 Vultr 基于 Schrems II — 完全欧盟司法管辖权,数据路径中没有美国母公司。
| Vultr 服务 | 仅欧盟替代方案 | 工程说明 |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Compute | Hetzner Cloud, OVH Public Cloud, Scaleway Instances | Standard VM migration; image rebuild and IP allocation, no application changes for most stacks. |
| Bare Metal | Hetzner dedicated servers, OVH dedicated, Leaseweb dedicated | Hetzner has the strongest bare-metal price/performance in the EU; provisioning typically takes minutes (auction servers) to hours (new builds). |
| Optimized Cloud Compute (CPU-Optimized, Memory, Storage) | Hetzner CCX (CPU-optimized), OVH HG (high-memory), Scaleway POP2 | Each EU provider has equivalent specialised instance families; Hetzner CCX in particular is highly competitive. |
| Object Storage | OVH Object Storage, Wasabi EU, Bunny Storage, MinIO self-hosted | S3-compatible across all options; migration is one config change in your application. |
| VKE (Vultr Kubernetes Engine) | Scaleway Kapsule, OVH Managed Kubernetes, Talos on Hetzner | Managed K8s parity; Helm charts and YAML transfer cleanly. |
| Block Storage | Hetzner Volumes, OVH Block Storage, Scaleway Block Storage | Standard NVMe-backed volumes everywhere. |
| Vultr File Storage (VFS) | OVH NAS-HA, self-hosted NFS or CephFS on EU compute | Shared filesystems are less common in EU managed offerings; self-hosted CephFS or GlusterFS is the standard pattern. |
| Managed Databases | OVH Managed Databases, Aiven, Scaleway Managed DB | PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis equivalents on all options. |
| GPU Instances (NVIDIA H100, A100, L40S) | Hetzner GPU servers, Scaleway H100 instances, OVHcloud GPU | For training and inference, Scaleway and Hetzner have current-generation GPU offerings under EU jurisdiction. |
| Vultr CDN | Bunny.net, KeyCDN | Bunny is the migration target for nearly every CDN exit in this guide. |
| Vultr DNS | Hetzner DNS, Bunny DNS, deSEC | Standard zone migration. |
| Vultr Load Balancer | Hetzner Cloud Load Balancer, OVH Load Balancer, HAProxy self-managed | L4/L7 load balancing on all EU options. |
| Reserved IPs | Hetzner Floating IPs, OVH Failover IPs | All EU providers offer the equivalent failover-IP pattern. |
我们如何迁移离开 Vultr
典型的中端市场迁移分三个阶段进行。以下数字假设一个 6-10 人的工程团队和中等复杂的应用程序技术栈。
Inventory
List instances, bare-metal nodes, Object Storage buckets, DNS zones. Identify any Vultr API automations to rewrite. Vultr inventories are usually small.
Soft swap
DNS, Object Storage, monitoring moved to EU-jurisdictional alternatives. Database replicas pre-staged. CI/CD updated.
Compute & bare-metal cutover
VMs reprovisioned on Hetzner. Bare-metal workloads moved to Hetzner or Leaseweb dedicated. GPU workloads moved to Scaleway H100. K8s clusters cutover with managed EU K8s.
Vultr-to-EU TCO: typically 30–45% cheaper, with the largest gains on bare metal (Hetzner is ~40% lower per equivalent spec) and GPU (Scaleway H100 hourly pricing is competitive). Egress savings are modest because Vultr has reasonable bandwidth pricing already.
常见问题
Vultr has many EU regions — does that solve Schrems II?
No. The Constant Company LLC (Vultr's legal entity) is US-headquartered. The EU regions are operated under US corporate control and subject to the CLOUD Act. Region selection addresses residency only.
How does Hetzner bare metal compare to Vultr bare metal?
Hetzner has roughly 30–50% better price/performance on equivalent specs, particularly on the auction/used-server market. Provisioning is faster on Hetzner Cloud, slower on Hetzner Dedicated (1–24 hours). Vultr's bare metal advantage was historically the global region count; for EU-only workloads, that advantage doesn't apply.
What about GPU workloads — are EU options really competitive?
Yes for current-generation hardware. Scaleway has H100 instances available with EU jurisdiction. Hetzner has consumer/professional GPU servers. OVH has GPU instances including A100. The specific pricing varies but for the H100 generation, Scaleway is often the best EU option. For older generations (V100, T4), Hetzner is often cheaper.
How long does a Vultr migration take?
Typical workload (5–20 instances, some Object Storage, DNS): 2–5 weeks elapsed. With a managed partner driving it: 1–3 weeks. Vultr's product simplicity is a virtue here.
Can we move just the EU-customer-facing workloads?
Yes, this is a common partial pattern. Move EU-customer-facing infrastructure to a sovereign stack, keep Vultr for non-EU traffic. The discipline is to keep personal data of EU subjects strictly on the sovereign side, which often requires data segregation work in the application.
Will the migration cause downtime?
Not when done with proper choreography. Database migration via logical replication, compute via DNS-level traffic shift, object storage via dual-write — all standard zero-downtime patterns.
