Scaleway has launched two availability zones for its Italy cloud region, bringing the total to three AZs.

Scaleway has brought two availability zones (AZs) online for its Italy cloud region. The cloud region originally opened in March 2026 with a single AZ located in the Settimo Milanese area of Milan. The two new zones are in separate data centers located in Basiglio and Milan.

The company said in its announcement: "With three geographically separate and independent zones, Milan becomes a fully fledged cloud region, offering enterprise-grade resilience."

Scaleway is also planning to expand its capacity across Europe in 2027. This will include the opening of three availability zones in Stockholm, Sweden, and three additional AZs in Frankfurt, Germany. The company already operates regions in France, Poland, and the Netherlands.

The expansion plans were announced during Scaleway's AI-Pulse 2026 event, where the company also revealed GPU capacity launches in Sweden and Copenhagen. With these new GPU deployments, Scaleway now has AI capacity in Paris, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. The company says this will eventually "represent tens of thousands of GPUs, tens of exaflops of computing power and tens of megawatts of capacity."

Earlier this year, Scaleway announced it was working with VSORA and ZML on the development of a new European AI inference offering based on the Jotunn8 processor. VSORA is a French semiconductor company specializing in AI inference processors, and the Jotunn8 processor is currently in manufacturing. When deployed in a formation of eight within the YMIR inference server, the chips offer 25.6 petaflops of compute, 2.3TB of memory, and a TDP of 9kW.
