S3NS Compute Engine

S3NSCompute

Google Compute Engine VMs operated under S3NS's French sovereign boundary. Same machine families as commercial GCP (general-purpose, memory-optimised, compute-optimised, GPU) with Linux and Windows images, but run exclusively from French data centres by S3NS's French-jurisdiction staff — no Google parent-entity access to workloads.
