As of August 2026, OVHcloud, a major French and European cloud provider, has announced its new Bare Metal 2026 lineup, but this generation is built around the latest AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors, not ARM CPUs.
However, Ampere Computing has deployed its AmpereOne and AmpereOne M ARM processors with several European cloud operators, including in France. This means that some French cloud providers (though not explicitly named in the results) are now offering ARM-based bare metal instances as part of their infrastructure, leveraging Ampere’s ARM chips for AI inference and sovereign environments.
Additionally, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides bare metal instances with Ampere Arm processors, but OCI is not a French company.
Summary: While OVHcloud itself does not currently offer ARM-based bare metal in its 2026 lineup, there are French cloud operators (not yet explicitly named in public sources) that do provide access to bare metal ARM CPUs via Ampere’s processors. If you need a French provider, it is worth directly contacting local operators or Ampere’s partners in France for the most up-to-date offerings.
