GPU Cloud: Sovereign GPU Providers & Regions

GPU cloud is the compute layer of sovereign AI. For training and inference to remain in-country, the GPUs must be in-country. This page maps GPU capacity to regions and providers in the directory.

GPU cloud โ€” definition

Bare-metal and virtualised GPU infrastructure (NVIDIA H100/H200 and equivalents) offered as a service, with the accelerator location determining whether AI workloads are resident in the jurisdiction.

GPU instance availability varies by region and capacity cycle; verify current SKUs before procurement.

Procurement checklist

  • Are the GPUs physically located in the required jurisdiction?
  • Can training and inference run in-region, or only inference?
  • What happens to weights, checkpoints and logs at contract end?
  • Is GPU capacity reserved and guaranteed, or burst/spot?
  • Does the provider's AI policy train on customer data by default?
